Books for leaders who want a more human future

I’m the international bestselling author of AI Dystopia or Utopia, a book about the choice every leader is making right now: whether AI brings out the best in our people and our workplaces, or the worst. My books share what I’ve learned about trust, culture, resilience and joy, on stage and in life.

AI Dystopia or Utopia

The Choice Point for Humanity Is Now

AI is reshaping work faster than most cultures can adapt. This book shows you how to lead that shift with clarity and trust, so your people feel safe to learn, experiment and grow with the technology instead of quietly resisting it.

  • Spot where AI can strengthen your culture and where it silently erodes trust
  • Turn fear and hidden resistance into curiosity and real adoption
  • Build an AI future your people actually want to be part of
“This is not a book about AI. It is a book about leadership and the future we choose to create.”Garry Ridge, Chairman Emeritus, WD-40 Company
