The Human Edge.
Practical.
Accessible.
Essential.
How can we maintain our human edge in an AI-driven world?
While more and more tasks can be outsourced to AI, this accessible book explores how we can develop our high level thinking skills and stay employed, stay ahead and stay relevant.
Through structured conversations and experiments, the book draws on practical wisdom, behavioural science and Bethan Winn's years in education and training to be an essential guide for leaders to develop their own critical, creative and strategic thinking skills while also coaching those they care about.
The book is designed to increase your confidence, clarity and connection. It will help you find truth amid ambiguity, take decisive action, connect disparate ideas and embrace uncertainty: some of the most valuable skills for work and life in our rapidly changing world.
"I love the book. It champions the importance of critical thought: a process that is often uncomfortable, inconvenient and requires humility, and which is easily avoided these days.
Regardless of whether AI is 'good' or 'bad', your book acknowledges that it is inevitable, suggesting how we may leverage it to better facilitate our fundamental human strengths."
