About the Book
We live in a world where devices finish our sentences, track our every move, and remind us to breathe—yet we’re more distracted, anxious, and restless than ever. Artificial intelligence is planning our days, writing our messages, and quietly reshaping how we think, work, and connect.
Still Human blends humor, research, and personal stories to explore how you can thrive in a machine-driven world without becoming one. Engaging and practical, it’s both a conversation and a toolkit for anyone feeling overwhelmed by tech and hungry for balance.
Inside, you’ll learn:
- Why “always-on” technology fuels restlessness—and how to push back
- The underrated role of rest, recovery, and imperfection in real productivity
- How to use AI tools as co-pilots, not crutches
- Practical ways to reclaim your attention, protect your energy, and set boundaries
Whether you’re a parent, professional, or simply feeling overwhelmed by pings, prompts, and predictions, Still Human gives you both perspective and tools to navigate this moment.
By the end, you’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and a plan to live well—even in a world that wants you optimized 24/7.
