The AI-Human Paradox: What Artificial Intelligence Reveals About Consciousness and the Future of Being Human by Bruce D Randall https://www.amazon.com/dp/1960346946 brucedrandall.ai We’re teaching machines to think. Who’s teaching us to be conscious? Although AI can process a billion data points in seconds, it lacks any capacity to sit in silence and know that it exists. At this time in world history, humanity stands at an unprecedented crossroads. Artificial intelligence is reshaping every dimension of life–how we work, create, connect, and even understand reality itself. However, in the race to build smarter machines, we’ve neglected the deeper question: What is the intelligence that no machine can manufacture? The AI-Human Paradox explores the territory between the algorithm and awareness, between computational power and the quiet force of consciousness. Written by a software consulting professional with decades of experience in the technology industry–who is also a mediator and Reiki Master–this book bridges two worlds that rarely speak to each other, and as such reveals why their conversation is the most important of our times. Inside, you’ll discover: Why the rise of AI makes human consciousness more essential–not less. The paths that artificial and human intelligence may walk together–or apart. What meditation, energy work, and contemplative traditions reveal about the limits of machines. A vision for a future in which technology serves awakening rather replacing it. This is not a book for technologists or spiritual seekers alone. Instead, it’s for anyone who has felt the tension between a world moving faster and a should asking to go deeper. About the author Bruce D. Randall has spent thirty years inside the technology industry and twenty years sitting still. That tension —enterprise software leadership at companies like Oracle and AT&T on one side, two decades of contemplative practice on the other — is what his books are built to hold. He writes about artificial intelligence and quantum computing with a combination almost no one brings to the subject: the fluency of someone who has actually sold and deployed these systems at scale, and the skepticism of someone who has spent years watching his own mind and knows the difference between a capability and a claim. His work is deliberately anti-hype. Where the industry promises revolution, Randall asks for the evidence — and when the evidence isn’t there, he says so, on the page, in plain language. His books are fact-checked to a standard most technology writing never attempts, because he believes readers deserve to know which claims are proven and which are merely sold. He currently serves as fractional CEO of a technology group, so the questions he writes about are not abstract to him — they are the ones he is answering in the room, under real stakes, right now. Across The AI Human Paradox, The Quantum Human Paradox, and The QAI Human Paradox, he traces a single widening question: as machines grow more capable, what remains distinctly, irreducibly human? In The End of Smart, he turns the lens on intelligence itself — and on what happens to a society built to reward it when intelligence stops being scarce. What his experience revealed about getting a job today. One line runs through all of it: Power seizes. Consciousness receives. Bruce holds a Data Science certificate from MIT and also holds an AI product management certification, and lives on the coast of Massachusetts.
Let’s Take a Walk by Gina K. Trehus https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GXQQV19D Ginaktrehus.com A piece of paper can be flattened out, but it will always have those crinkles in it. It will never be the same again. Amalia Rose grew up in North Dakota with those words from her father etched into her heart—a reminder that while we can heal from life’s hardships, the marks they leave remain. She never expected that a simple walk to clear her head in California would leave her with a scar that would last a lifetime. After witnessing a crime that upended her world, Amalia spent eleven years living in the shadows. To protect the people she loved, she accepted a life of silence, hidden away in protective custody where her past was a secret she carried alone. Now, she has finally returned to the familiar horizon of her hometown. She has built a life of peace with a husband who supports her and a daughter to raise. But as the ghosts of her past are released back into the world, the safety of her new home is threatened. Amalia must decide if she will keep running or if she is finally ready to stand her ground. In this poignant story of memory and resilience, you will find: The Complexity of Healing: A moving look at how we carry our past into our future. A Journey Across Landscapes: From the fast-paced uncertainty of the West Coast back to the steady, golden fields of the Midwest. The Strength of Home: An exploration of what it means to truly belong and the lengths we go to protect our sanctuary. Let’s Take a Walk is a quiet, powerful reflection on the paths we choose, the detours we endure, and the hope that waits at the end of the road. Follow the road home. Order your copy today.
Permanent Revolution: Authoritarianism Fascism & Totalitarianism In The 20th Century by Sigmund Neumann, Nathaniel R Fridman https://www.amazon.com/dp/1967927081 Sigmundneumann.com Permanent Revolution: The Total State in a World at War is a groundbreaking political history and analysis by renowned scholar Professor Sigmund Neumann, one of the first intellectuals to define and explain the rise of Authoritarianism, Fascism, and Totalitarianism in the modern world. Originally published during the turmoil of World War II, this newly updated edition brings Neumann’s influential work to a new generation of readers with improved formatting, accessible structure, bullet-pointed sections, and modern commentary by coauthor Nathaniel Fridman. Drawing from the political collapse of the Weimar Republic and the rise of dictators such as Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Joseph Stalin, Neumann examines how authoritarian regimes seize power, manipulate mass movements, destroy democratic institutions, and maintain control through propaganda, fear, nationalism, and permanent political conflict. This powerful work explores: The rise of Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler’s authoritarian rule The emergence of Italian Fascism under Benito Mussolini Stalin’s Soviet Union and the mechanics of totalitarian control The collapse of democratic institutions in Europe Political propaganda, mass psychology, and dictatorship The relationship between war, revolution, and authoritarian power The continuing threat of fascism and political extremism in the modern world Featuring the original 1942 introduction alongside a new 2025 introduction and epilogue by Nathaniel Fridman, this edition connects the lessons of 20th-century dictatorships to contemporary political and social tensions across the world. Part political science, part historical analysis, and part warning for future generations, Permanent Revolution: The Total State in a World at War remains an essential book for readers interested in: Political history Fascism and totalitarianism World War II studies Democracy and authoritarianism European history Political philosophy International relations Modern political systems Perfect for historians, political science students, educators, researchers, and readers of serious nonfiction, this timeless study offers critical insight into how democracies weaken, how dictatorships rise, and why understanding history remains vital in defending freedom.

On the Life of Linda J. Albertano: From Trauma to High Art by Linda J Albertano https://www.amazon.com/dp/1884743102 The work of award-winning poet, performance artist, actor, and musician Linda J. Albertano and her husband of 55 years, Frank Lutz, is collected in On the Life of Linda J. Albertano, including poetry, stories, and prose, as well as memorabilia from Linda’s astounding performance career. Linda J. Albertano, award-winning poet and Poetry Diva of the City of Los Angeles, was an enchantress, musician, performance artist, actress, and filmmaker. As a child, she was reared in various unkindly foster homes. But this six-foot-four beauty with brains excelled and made her art speak for her. Frank Lutz was Linda’s lover, husband, partner, and best friend for more than 55 years. While Frank was the quiet one of the pair, his experiences as an athlete, scholar, pilot, sailor, and European aficionado provided the kernel for much of his narrative poetry. Together they were creative scholastic gems.
Re-Placed: Answering the Call of Leadership in the Age of AI by Kari Zeller https://www.amazon.com/dp/1639081941 Ttgn-consulting.com Amazon Best Seller in Strategy & Competition, Business Mentoring & Coaching, and Business Technology Innovation A Fast Company Press Book AI didn’t arrive with a warning. It arrived with a question: what are you going to do now? Today, leaders are caught in a cascade of contradictions. The technology that promises unprecedented capability also delivers unprecedented doubt. AI makes everything faster, cheaper, and more capable. It also makes the most fundamental question of leadership unavoidable: what are humans actually for? You did not choose this moment. But you are responsible for who you and your organization become in it. In Re-Placed, Leadership Strategist and CEO Kari Zeller offers something rare in the AI conversation: a leadership book that starts with the human, not the technology. The arrival of artificial intelligence doesn’t have to displace us. But it will, unless we learn to re-place ourselves first—to consciously reposition who we are, how we lead, and where we create value in a world where intelligence is no longer ours alone. Through stories as practical as they are personal, Zeller shows how the strongest leaders take the helm during existential change, how re-placing ourselves is key to flourishing in this new era, and how what we choose to value matters more than what AI can do. Drawing on decades of experience guiding senior executives through high-stakes transitions, from combat operations to the boardroom, Zeller provides a framework for the proactive, innovative leadership this moment demands. The linear thinking that built your success cannot survive this exponential wave. Re-Placed equips you to create the conditions where people and organizations don’t just survive the shift, but flourish in it. The future will not be managed. It must be led. About the author Kari Zeller is a battle-tested leader, U.S. Air Force combat veteran, and Founder and CEO of TGN Consulting. She brings transformative strategies from the battlefield to the boardroom, advising boards, CEOs, and senior executive teams across Fortune 100 companies, healthcare systems, retail, private equity, and governmental organizations. Her methodology focuses on actively aligning strategy, culture, and leadership to create coherence and clarity when the stakes are highest. She is the author of the forthcoming book Re-Placed: Answering the Call of Leadership in the Age of AI (Fast Company Press, July 14, 2026), which provides a provocative and essential playbook for executives seeking to mobilize their organizations for a future shaped by AI, robotics, and quantum computing. Rather than allowing people to be passively displaced by technology, Zeller champions a strategy of consciously “re-placing” ourselves to harness disruption, reimagine value creation, and ensure human-centric growth.
The Empathy Evolution: Preventing Violence, Racism, Political Corruption, and Mental Illness by Creating More Caring People by Ronald Goldman https://www.amazon.com/dp/195033662X Ronaldgoldmanphd.com What if the roots of America’s deepest problems begin earlier than we think? In The Empathy Evolution, award-winning psychologist Ronald Goldman, PhD, explores a powerful idea: violence, racism, political corruption, and mental illness may not only be personal, social, or political problems. They may also be connected to deeper emotional roots formed from common adverse early childhood experiences, unmet needs, and trauma.

This thoughtful and timely book looks beyond headlines and explains what can be done before early unrecognized harm affects behavior, belief, and lifelong emotional pain. For readers searching for developmental psychology books, trauma psychology books, or meaningful emotional intelligence books, this book offers a clear and compassionate way to understand human behavior. Readers will discover: How empathy develops and why it matters How early care and and doing what is natural influence emotional health and relationships Why trauma and associated emotional numbness can affect behavior How compassion can support healthier families and communities Why prevention matters in mental health and social change The Empathy Evolution is beneficial for parents, educators, counselors, health-care professionals, social advocates, and anyone interested in social behavior psychology. It helps readers understand why caring is not just a personal value, but a foundation for healthier people and a more compassionate future. With awareness of our problem origins, we can create significantly higher quality of life. About the author Ronald Goldman, PhD, is an award-winning psychologist, researcher, speaker, consultant, and the author of the #1 Amazon bestselling book, “The Empathy Evolution: Preventing Violence, Racism, Political Corruption, and Mental Illness by Creating More Caring People.” Specializing in developmental and applied psychology, he educates the public and professionals about generally unrecognized origins and prevention of social and behavioral problems.

His enlightening programs have been presented to universities, conferences, organizations, government groups, parents, and others.
The Forsaken Founder: Gouverneur Morris, the Unsung Patriot Who Wrote the Constitution, Stood Up to Slavery, and Survived the Reign of Terror by Scott S. Greenberger https://www.amazon.com/Forsaken-Founder-Gouverneur-Constitution-Survived/dp/1668094940 Uncover the little-known story of Gouverneur Morris, the brilliant yet overlooked Founding Father whose visionary ideas from writing key components of the US Constitution to helping create America’s first bank to holding an unwavering stance against slavery shaped the nation’s future. When George Washington and the Continental Army faced starvation, he turned to Gouverneur Morris to help devise a plan to provision the troops. When the fledgling nation needed a financial system to sustain the Revolution, Morris again was called upon to help design its first national bank and currency. When the compromises between North and South, large states and small, had to be stitched into a single governing document, the task of shaping the Constitution’s final language fell largely to him. At the Constitutional Convention, Morris spoke more often than any delegate save James Madison—and more forcefully against slavery. When Alexander Hamilton died in a tragic duel, his widow insisted that Hamilton’s closest friend, Gouverneur Morris, deliver the eulogy. Morris continued to serve the republic after its founding as envoy to France during the Revolution and Reign of Terror, and as an early visionary who grasped that New York, not Philadelphia, could become the nation’s economic capital if a canal opened the interior to the sea. And yet, despite these achievements, Morris’s legacy is little known today. In this deeply researched biography, The Forsaken Founder, Scott Greenberger restores this indispensable figure to history and asks why one of the most prescient and principled founders faded from memory. Was it his uncompromising opposition to slavery? His unapologetic aristocratic style? His belief that liberty required structure as well as passion? Moving from the battlefields of the American Revolution to the salons of Paris and the blood-soaked streets of the French Revolution, this book restores Morris to his rightful place in history. It is the story of a man admired by giants, resisted by factions, and ultimately forsaken by memory—and of a republic still grappling with the truths he dared to speak. About the author Scott Greenberger is the executive editor of Stateline. He was a newspaper reporter at the Austin American-Statesman and The Boston Globe and has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, Politico, and GQ. Greenberger has a bachelor’s degree in history from Yale University and a master’s degree in international relations from George Washington University. He lives in Takoma Park, Maryland.
