How To Think With AI: A Simple Guide to Boost Your Brain Power, Creativity, and Performance

A revolution in human capability is here.AI-enhanced people are rewriting the rules of human performance. As these early adopters raise the bar, everyone watching from the sidelines is suddenly operating at a fraction of their potential. It’s not because they are less capable. It’s because they haven’t plugged into the extraordinary cognitive powers now at everyone’s fingertips.

What separates those achieving breakthrough results with AI from those left behind?
Social scientist and digital transformation strategist Alison McCauley spent a year researching hundreds of early adopters to decode their secrets of success. She transforms these powerful insights into a clear, proven framework that anyone can use to turn AI into their cognitive advantage. If you are still trying to understand how to use AI or you haven’t already discovered how to get meaningful value out of AI, How to Think with AI is for you.

Early adopters have already discovered how to weave AI tools into their daily lives, using them to test ideas, expand their thinking, and tackle complex challenges that once seemed insurmountable. They’ll tell you AI is a wildly powerful technology that helps them create and perform at a level that was impossible just a year ago. They’ll say it’s an imaginative, creative thought partner—that it’s made them a better manager, thinker, entrepreneur, learner, parent, or partner. That they can’t imagine life without it.

Far more people struggle to find meaningful ways to wield AI.
