Better Never to Have Been - The...

David Benatar

Most people believe that they were either benefited or at least not harmed by being brought into existence. Thus, if they ever do reflect on whether they should bring others into existence—rather than having children without even thinking about whether they should—they presume that they do them no harm. Better Never to Have Been challenges these assumptions. David Benatar argues that coming into existence is always a serious harm. Those who never exist cannot be deprived. However, by coming into existence one does suffer quite serious harms that could not have befallen one had one not come into existence. Drawing on the relevant psychological literature, the author shows that there are a number of well-documented features of human psychology that explain why people systematically overestimate the quality of their lives and why they are thus resistant to the suggestion that they were seriously harmed by being brought into existence. The author then argues for the "anti-natal" view—that it is always wrong to have children—and he shows that combining the anti-natal view with common pro-choice views about fetal moral status yield a "pro-death" view about abortion. Although counter-intuitive for many, that implication is defended, not least by showing that it solves many conundrums of moral theory about population.

The AI Whisperer - How Smart...

TJ Walker

Most people use artificial intelligence like a search engine: they type a vague request, receive a generic response, and blame the tool. The real difference between average and exceptional AI results is often communication. 
 
In The AI Whisperer, communication expert TJ Walker shows you how to get more useful, accurate, and relevant results from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and other AI tools by applying timeless communication principles. 
 
You will learn how to communicate with clarity, provide the right context, define tone and audience, set effective constraints, refine weak responses, use AI as a thinking partner, prepare for difficult conversations and presentations, and build a personal prompt system that improves over time. 
 
This is not a technical guide to coding or software engineering. It is a practical audiobook for professionals, managers, entrepreneurs, consultants, educators, creators, students, and anyone who wants to use AI more effectively at work and in everyday life. 
 
The AI Whisperer: How Smart Communicators Get More from Artificial Intelligence is written and narrated by TJ Walker and published by Ultamize Network.
