You speak… but it doesn’t land. In the AI era, it’s no longer about what you say—it’s about what you transmit. This isn’t another leadership theory. It’s a revelation of what’s already happening underneath your performance: Why ...

Simply put, they control their emotions, and don’t let their emotions control them.

This book isn’t a self-help manual. It’s a mirror—sharpened into a blade. Being Social Is Making You Dumber is a ruthless dissection of the smiling, nodding, performative version of modern life. Rooted in the cold precision of Machiavellian philosophy, it doesn’t plead for your attention. It challenges your need for it. You’ve been taught that being liked is a virtue. That fitting in is maturity. That playing well with others is wisdom. It’s not. It’s erosion. Every handshake you fake, every opinion you echo, every party you endure in silence builds the invisible prison you ...

Indeed by the mid-1850s, a lot of the groundwork was all done. In this enlightening book, Anil Ananthaswamy explains the fundamental maths behind AI, which suggests that the basics of natural and artificial intelligence might follow the same mathematical rules.
