If you’ve felt the ai acceleration and thought, “I need to be intentional here,” I write a book for you.

The noise around AI is loud. The deeper question is quieter: What cognitive habits allow you to stay steady inside systems that move faster than your instincts?

That question has shaped my work for the past two years. I’ve watched people across sectors engage the same generative systems and walk away with wildly different results. Not because of access. Not because of intelligence. Because of mindset.

So I wrote a book.

The Future AI Mindset: Curiosity Field Guide for Imagining Your Tomorrow is now available.

This is not a guide to tools. It won’t teach you how to craft the perfect prompt or optimize a workflow. It’s about the orientation required to work wisely inside complex, uncertain systems, including AI.

At the center are eight interacting lenses: collaboration, confidence, positivity, preparedness, balance, specificity, open-mindedness, and patience. On their own, they sound simple. Together, they form a durable posture toward the future.

Collaboration without specificity is just pleasant agreement.
Confidence without balance moves fast in the wrong direction.
Patience without openness hardens into rigidity.

Used together, they create traction.

The book also includes the practical methods I’ve used for years in applied foresight work: backcasting from a desired future to identify what must be true today, scenario planning to hold multiple plausible futures at once, and Applied Futures Mapping to visually connect present decisions to long-term consequences. There’s even a time-travel visualization exercise you can record in your own voice to reconnect with the future you’re working toward.

This framework isn’t theoretical. I used it to build a curriculum for the U.S. Department of Energy, and I’m currently training the program at the National Labs.

Beginning March 30, I’ll also be offering a public six-week online workshop based on the book.

We are in a moment where our tools amplify both brilliance and blind spots at scale. The difference between reacting and shaping what comes next has less to do with technical fluency and more to do with cognitive discipline.

The Future AI Mindset is an invitation to practice that discipline.

The book is available now.

If you’re ready to think across time instead of chasing headlines, this work was written with you in mind.
