Cognitive Architecture

How to think when machines think for you.

We are asking more of human minds than at any point in history, and getting less in return. AI can now do most of what we used to call thinking, and what is left is harder. The problem isn't skill or effort. It's the level at which the brain has been built to operate.

What the book covers:

  1. 01
    The core shift Stop competing with the machine. Start directing it, and build the judgment to do it well.
  2. 02
    A direction for education How schools help students think with AI instead of letting it think for them.
  3. 03
    A direction for the workforce Where durable human value lives as the tools get more capable.
  4. 04
    Hiring for adaptability Why the Adaptability Quotient beats the resume, and why cognitive complexity matters more than a skillset.
  5. 05
    How organizations change Case studies from the field: what the organizations that found success actually did differently, and how they got there.
