Use Your Brain

If I could broadcast a single idea from Erica Dhawan’s book to every white-collar worker on the planet, I’d choose this: Never let AI write the first draft of your thinking. Use Your Brain is a deeply useful guide to knowing when to speed up, when to slow down, and how to remain intellectually vital in a world that seems intent on flattening originality. * Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Regret and Drive *
Use Your Brain is a timely and practical guide to staying mentally present in a world increasingly designed to think for us. Erica Dhawan shows that the greatest risk of AI is not merely getting the wrong answer, but slowly surrendering the judgment, effort, and discernment that make an answer truly ours. This book offers a useful framework for working with intelligent tools without allowing them to replace the distinctly human work of thinking. * Nir Eyal, bestselling author of Hooked, Indistractable, and Beyond Belief *
Part wake-up call, part playbook, Use Your Brain is what happens when rigorous thinking meets a storyteller who can make you feel the stakes in your chest. This book is brilliant and deeply necessary. * Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers50 #1 Executive Coach, New York Times bestselling author of The Earned Life, Triggers, and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There *
The most powerful learning is the kind we do ourselves. Dig deep and figure it out. Erica’s here to help. * Seth Godin, author of The Knot *
Use it or lose it. That is the wise warning of this book: that if we don’t respect and use the very sophisticated brains we were born with, they—and we—will become emotionally, socially, intellectually and creatively disabled. We have important choices to make today and this book is a smart, and very human, guide to making good ones. * Margaret Heffernan, CEO and author of Wilful Blindness and Uncharted: How to Navigate the Future *
