Books
There are two versions of you at work.
The machine-self: executes tasks, follows processes, produces outputs. The one that AI can now do.
The human-self: makes judgment calls, builds relationships, navigates ambiguity. The one that matters more as machines get better.
Modern work trained us to perform the first version. This book is about what it takes to become the second.
What’s inside
- Why the old bargain (suppress your humanity, get paid) is breaking
- What denial actually looks like in practice
- The difference between machine-work and human-work
- How to build judgment when playbooks stop working
Read first, buy later
This book expands on themes from my weekly newsletter, where I write about work, learning, and judgment every Sunday.

The Work of Being
A Philosopher's Guide to Becoming Human in the AI Era
Modern work was not designed for humans. Now that machines can do machine work, the old compromise is breaking. This book is about what work has been doing to us—and what it takes to stay human inside it.
