  AI Needs You - How We Can Change...

  This audiobook narrated by Daisy Donovan shares an electrifying vision of how we can safeguard AI's future for the public good
  
  Artificial intelligence may be the most transformative technology of our time. As AI's power grows, so does the need to figure out what—and who—this technology is really for. AI Needs You argues that it is critical for society to take the lead in answering this urgent question and ensuring that AI fulfills its promise.
  
  Verity Harding draws inspiring lessons from the histories of three twentieth-century tech revolutions—the space race, in vitro fertilization, and the internet—to empower each of us to join the conversation about AI and its possible futures. Sharing her perspective as a leading insider in technology and politics, she rejects the dominant narrative, which often likens AI's advent to that of the atomic bomb. History points the way to an achievable future in which democratically determined values guide AI to be peaceful in its intent; to embrace limitations; serve purpose, not profit; and to be firmly rooted in societal trust.
  AI Needs You gives us hope that we, the people, can imbue AI with a deep intentionality that reflects our best values, ideals, and interests, and that serves the public good. AI will permeate our lives in unforeseeable ways, but it is clear that the shape of AI's future—and of our own—cannot be left only to those building it. It is up to us to guide this technology away from our worst fears toward a future that we can trust and believe in.

  A pioneering researcher unveils the neuroscience of executive function: How it works and what we can (and can’t) do to improve it. 
   
  From the muddle of brain fog that leaves you searching for keys already in your hand to the challenges posed by conditions like ADHD, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s, deficits in executive function are everywhere. Everyone agrees that executive function is essential for solving problems, planning for the future, and leading effective, meaningful lives―yet few can agree on what it actually is, or how to improve it. In Think Before You Think, internationally renowned neuroscientist Adrian Owen draws on cutting-edge research and a vast original dataset to finally demystify what executive function is, how it shapes our behavior, and what truly does―and doesn’t―help sharpen it. As practical as it is profound, Think Before You Think reveals our cognitive strengths, our limitations, and the extraordinary potential we all possess.

  - Single-use plastics are a big money-maker for the fossil fuel industry. 
  - They created the triangle symbol to make us think plastics will recycle, even though that can’t easily be done. 
  - Manufacturers choose not to invest in recycled packaging and materials. 
  - Virgin materials mined from Earth are cheaper and often subsidized. 
  - Technology exists to eliminate most of the greenhouse gas emissions they cause. 
  - It’s time to fight for the truth and take matters into our own hands. What we buy and how it’s made affects how well “reduce, reuse, and recycle” works. Using the power of our voices and wallets, we can make corporations change how they do business. 
  - They answer to us, the people who buy their products and invest in their stock. 
  - We can insist they take responsibility for the damage they cause.  
  - We have the power to fight climate change at home and in our cities. 
  - I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to leave the health and well-being of my family in the hands of people who I hope will figure this mess out. 
  - We all need to change for the better of our planet and our lives. 
  - There are alternatives to buying disposable goods and packaging. 
  - Buy durable goods and reusable packaging to save money and the planet.  
  - Reduce and reuse packaging. First, eliminate plastic shopping bags.  
  - We can do things differently to change our eating and buying habits.

  For anyone struggling with addiction, grief, shame, or the belief that their story is beyond repair, his journey offers hope. And for those who have never faced such battles but love someone who has, this book provides a window into understanding their struggle and resilience. 
  Raised in poverty and pain, he lost his mother at fifteen and was left to survive on his own. By nineteen, meth addiction had consumed his life. At twenty‑six, jail became his rock bottom—and strangely, his turning point. That moment marked the beginning of a long, messy climb out of darkness. 
  It is a story of redemption and second chances, of grace, discipline, and the refusal to quit. It explores the slow but beautiful work of rebuilding a broken life and finding purpose in unexpected places—whether in business, faith, fatherhood, or service to others.
