"There are plenty of books on AI, and even on the human/AI relationship. But you will not find one more thoughtful and usefully philosophical than this. If it doesn't make you think carefully about how you're using AI, you didn't read it carefully enough."—Thomas H.

“Rarely do you find a book that reads like a practical, human, hilarious guide to meaningful change. This book accomplishes that heady goal and more! I spent most of my time reading thinking that I was tucked into a corner pub with my mentor and he was telling me all the stuff that I needed to hear, even if it was a tough truth, along with strategies to anticipate and survive the inevitable challenges. When I put the book down I felt inspired and motivated, which is great; I also felt seen, which is remarkable.”— Amazon Review
