A Whole New Human - by Derek Rydall (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Derek Rydall, the author behind The Abundance Project, offers an empowering and actionable guide for workers, creators, leaders, and educators to unlock their full potential and not only survive but thrive in the AI era.

As AI accelerates beyond human capabilities, the real threat isn't that machines will replace us--it's that we will lose the very qualities that define us. Every technological advancement, from calculators to GPS, has eroded essential human capacities, weakening our ability to think critically, create, and adapt. Now, with AI poised to surpass us in nearly every task, we face an existential crisis: How do we future-proof our existence in a world where machines can

Derek Rydall's A Whole New Human is an essential, practical guide to navigating this global seismic shift. Originally on a path to becoming a programmer and neuroscientist, a near-death experience shifted his perspective, revealing that our greatest power isn't found in technology--but in unlocking the vast potential of our own consciousness. Blending ancient wisdom, cutting-edge science, and decades of human development research, Rydall examines what's happening now in AI and offers a step-by-step road map for how we can evolve alongside it.

Embrace your innate potential, strengthen what makes you uniquely human, and learn to harness AI to amplify you--not replace you.

"I've had the honor of knowing Derek for a long time (in this lifetime!)--back when he was just starting out as a writer--and I've always been profoundly touched by his rare ability to bring heaven down to earth in ways that are deeply practical, often humorous, and always soul-stirring.
