There might be a good book in here, but it’s hard to find it in this repetitive, disorganized, and bloated manuscript. While attempting to justify diversity work through studies and anecdotes, the authors weaken their arguments by silly unsupported statements such as, “All of us, whether directly or indirectly, are dependent on women being paid fairly,” or “People perform better when they can be themselves,” or “People internalize diversity as a good thing in their own self-interest.” The authors refrain from thinking critically and speaking plainly about the benefits and pitfalls of a diverse workforce and instead wrap their observations in politicized verbosity. Because of their experience working with organizations, I’d love to see them take the whole thing apart and start from first principles. In its current form, it’s a disservice to those who are working hard to fight discrimination and improve workplace cultures.

Too technical for me. Or it seemed that is what they were going for. Not a fan of this book! It could have been written in a more chatty form.
