In a world rapidly transformed by artificial intelligence, your ability to thrive depends more on your mindset than your technical skill.
Rewiring Your Mind for AI isn't a technical manual-it's a survival guide for working professionals, students, educators, leaders, and anyone navigating the accelerating impact of generative AI. Author and educator David A. Wood, Ph.D., argues that the most important shift we need to make isn't learning to code or mastering AI tools-it's updating our thinking. In this book, you'll discover how your long-held beliefs, assumptions, and habits may be holding you back-and how changing them can unlock new levels of productivity, creativity, and career relevance.
With vivid real-life stories-from confused grandparents to innovative college students-Wood illustrates how mindsets formed in earlier technological eras can limit our potential in today's AI-driven landscape. Whether it's assuming AI works like Google or expecting it to behave like a calculator, most of us are using outdated mental models that no longer serve us. This book teaches you to recognize those traps and replace them with more flexible, forward-thinking mental habits.
You'll learn the difference between deterministic and probabilistic thinking and why that matters when working with AI tools like ChatGPT. You'll understand why hallucinations happen, how to use AI safely, and when to trust it (and when not to). Rather than fearing AI's creative unpredictability, you'll learn how to harness it to become a more effective problem solver, communicator, and collaborator.
Packed with powerful examples-from Hollywood production studios to boardrooms, classrooms, and hospitals-Rewiring Your Mind for AI shows how generative AI is already transforming every industry. You'll see how leading companies are using it to save time, cut costs, and do things that were previously impossible, and you'll explore how people use it every day to elevate their work.
Throughout the book, Wood draws on psychology, business, education, and technology trends to build a compelling argument: success in the age of AI will go to those who can unlearn the past and embrace uncertainty. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, skeptical, or just unsure about how to engage with generative AI, this book gives you a refreshing, empowering perspective.
Rewiring Your Mind for AI is for learners and leaders alike. Whether you're an executive making strategic decisions, an employee trying to stay relevant, a student preparing for a changing workforce, or just curious about how to make sense of it all-this book equips you with the most important skill of the AI era: the ability to change your mind.
We are living through one of the most profound shifts in professional history. David Wood invites us to stop fearing the rise of artificial intelligence and start collaborating with it. His concept of Symbio-the coordination of humans and intelligent agents-offers a compelling blueprint for how we think, work, and lead in this new era. What makes this book truly stand out is its focus on mindset. David makes it clear that thriving in the era of intelligence requires more than just technology tools-it demands a new way of thinking. His vivid charts and real-world scenarios contrast the old mindset with the emerging GenAI mindset, helping readers identify where they are and where they need to go.
