From the book trailer

I wrote this book to help you think with AI, not just use it.

Most people use AI like a search tool. But AI can do more than that. It can help you think.

  • Session 1: Start a Conversation. Instead of chasing fast answers, start a conversation.
  • Session 3: Slow Down the First Answer. When you slow down, you often find better ideas waiting.
  • Session 5: See the Other Side. Seeing the other side does not mean changing your mind.
  • Session 10: Build a Daily Habit. You don’t need long sessions. You need steady ones.

10 short sessions. Concept, Practice, My Prompt, Summary. One session a day is enough.

Common questions

Is there a Kindle version?
No. Thinking with AI is a workbook you write in. Each session has a My Prompt page you fill in with a pen, so it’s a paperback only.
Do I need to know anything technical?
No. It’s not a technical manual. If you can type a question into an AI chat, you’re ready.
Which AI should I use?
Any one you like: ChatGPT, Grok, or another assistant. The sessions are about how you think, not about one tool.
How long does it take?
Ten short sessions. One a day is enough, so you can finish it in about two weeks or move at your own pace.
How long is the book?
55 pages, 5 × 8 in paperback.
