Something new entered our world in November 2022—the first general purpose AI that could pass for a human and do the kinds of creative, innovative work that only humans could do previously. Wharton professor Ethan Mollick immediately understood what ChatGPT meant: after millions of years on our own, humans had developed a kind of co-intelligence that could augment, or even replace, human thinking. Through his writing, speaking, and teaching, Mollick has become one of the most prominent and provocative explainers of AI.

The must read serious book of the moment
Revisado: 04-12-24
Compelling look at the ephemeral now. My second time listening through is not my last. A great book for communities rural and urban. Let’s pay attention, move with AI into AGI to ward off dissension, stress, and political strife. Ethan Mollick Is a perceptive thought leader. Let’s follow him!!

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 56
In the early 1960s, JFK declared that science would take us to the moon. He also declared that science would make the “remote reaches of the mind accessible” and cure psychiatric illness with breakthrough medications. We were walking on the moon within the decade. But today, psychiatric cures continue to elude us—as does the mind itself. Why is it that we still don’t understand how the mind works? What is the difference between the mind and the brain? And given all that we still don’t know, how can we make insightful, transformative choices about our psychiatric conditions?

A truly engaging history of psychiatry!
Revisado: 10-24-23
Bergner's storytelling through interviews with individuals experiencing a range of treatments moves this work forward compellingly. His craft maintains the suspense and interest until the end. This is a book I'm recommending to friends and will return to.

One morning in late 2017, New York Times columnist Frank Bruni woke up with strangely blurred vision. He wondered at first if some goo or gunk had worked its way into his right eye. But this was no fleeting annoyance, no fixable inconvenience.

A book to be re-read

I will come back to this book - and to favorite chapters - as I age. It’s so true and soothing.

From an award-winning science journalist comes a lively, informative, and humorous deep dive into the future of the toilet - from creative uses for harvested “biosolids”, to the bold engineers dedicated to bringing safe sanitation to the billions of people worldwide living without.

Powerful, intricate, and wide ranging
Revisado: 04-07-21
Amidst all the books on toilets, Chelsea Wald’s Pipe Dreams breaks through with clarity, depth, and actionable inspiration. The oft repeated term “toilet systems” takes us from the humble, intimate user interface to the impact of climate change and the “silver tsunami” threatening the planet’s most sophisticated wastewater treatment infrastructure. While no stone is unturned, Pipe Dreams is compellingly accessible. Let’s hope this book becomes the game changer it deserves to be!

Most of us want to make a difference. We donate our time and money to charities and causes we deem worthy, choose careers we consider meaningful, and patronize businesses and buy products we believe make the world a better place. Unfortunately we often base these decisions on assumptions and emotions rather than facts. As a result even our best intentions often lead to ineffective - and sometimes downright harmful - outcomes. How can we do better?

A book I'm going to read again
Revisado: 09-21-16
Extremely thought provoking. Should be on college curriculum for people starting careers and in community and church reading groups of those wrestling with where to put their time and money. At the same time I want to read reviews. I suspect the author undervalued so very important things. Need to find the holes first.
