Think Like a Human: The Power of Your Mind in an Age of AI
by David WeitznerA new way of thinking that improves how we work, create and live, empowering readers to outsmart AI—a tool that can never do what humans do The bedrock on which technology has been built and on which we now make strategic, political, ethical and even day-to-day decisions—“algorithmic thinking”—is flawed. As we race headlong into a future where we outsource all our problem-solving to artificial intelligence, the greatest threat is not superintelligent machinery, but too much trust in Big Tech and not enough trust in the power of our own minds. Think Like a Human offers a new way forward—what Dr. Weitzner calls “artful intelligence”—a philosophy that can help each of us solve problems and make better decisions.To think artfully is to approach problem-solving not just with our brains but with our hands, eyes and ears, along with our literal and metaphorical hearts and guts, tapping into the myriad of underutilized cognitive resources distributed throughout our bodies. Think Like a Human is a refreshing antidote and reality check to artificial-intelligence mania and fear. Cutting through the hype, misinformation and corporate hustle around AI, this book will inspire you to adopt the artful approach, bringing intuition and emotional intelligence to your work and life.
Think Like a Monk: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose Every Day
by Jay ShettyJay Shetty, social media superstar and host of the #1 podcast On Purpose, distills the timeless wisdom he learned as a monk into practical steps anyone can take every day to live a less anxious, more meaningful life.When you think like a monk, you&’ll understand: -How to overcome negativity -How to stop overthinking -Why comparison kills love -How to use your fear -Why you can&’t find happiness by looking for it -How to learn from everyone you meet -Why you are not your thoughts -How to find your purpose -Why kindness is crucial to success -And much more... Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk&’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others. Heavily in debt, and with no recognizable skills on his résumé, he moved back home in north London with his parents. Shetty reconnected with old school friends—many working for some of the world&’s largest corporations—who were experiencing tremendous stress, pressure, and unhappiness, and they invited Shetty to coach them on well-being, purpose, and mindfulness. Since then, Shetty has become one of the world&’s most popular influencers. In 2017, he was named in the Forbes magazine 30-under-30 for being a game-changer in the world of media. In 2018, he had the #1 video on Facebook with over 360 million views. His social media following totals over 38 million, he has produced over 400 viral videos which have amassed more than 8 billion views, and his podcast, On Purpose, is consistently ranked the world&’s #1 Health and Wellness podcast. In this inspiring, empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Combining ancient wisdom and his own rich experiences in the ashram, Think Like a Monk reveals how to overcome negative thoughts and habits, and access the calm and purpose that lie within all of us. He transforms abstract lessons into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, improve relationships, and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world. Shetty proves that everyone can—and should—think like a monk.

Think Like a Therapist: Six Life-Changing Insights for Leading a Good Life
by Professor Stephen JosephLife throws a lot of unexpected and unpleasant things at us. Many people just struggle on, but others find someone to talk to, someone like Stephen Joseph, who, as a therapist, is trained to listen to their concerns. They turn up with problems - failing relationships, stalled careers, conflicts, feelings of upset - that all seem very real to them in the moment. They may say they just want to 'get back to normal' or 'get back on track'. But sometimes the truth is that things have changed too much to go back. More than that, they come to realise that their life wasn't really on track in the first place. Getting on track now means something much bigger. Over months, or years, Joseph works with his clients to peel away the layers and find something deeper behind their discontents and identify new understandings of what really matters. These revelations often seem to come out of the blue - lightbulb moments in which people suddenly gain a new perspective on how to lead their lives. In this new book, Joseph shares the most important of these realisations: the six ways in which we can begin to see ourselves and the world anew, without distortion, and embark on a road to personal growth and a more emotionally mature life. These are often hard-earned lessons that come at great cost, such as illness or bereavement. But, Joseph says, with an open mind, at the right time, such lessons can be learned by anyone. Drawing on his work over three decades as a psychologist, psychotherapist, university professor and researcher, he distils this vital knowledge for general readers and reveals how the secrets of enduring change are available to us all.
