Mind Leap: How to Think, Feel, and Flourish in the Age of AI explains the neuroscience behind what AI is doing to the mind and offers practical strategies for preserving human cognition, both individually and collectively, within a world transformed by Artificial Intelligence.

Across billions of daily repetitions, AI is driving largescale and unregulated change to how people use their brains, physically altering the neural pathways and impairing capacities such as independent thought, attention, judgement, creativity, and self-regulation. Kilburg demystifies the psychology behind these findings with clear descriptions of cognitive offloading, skill atrophy, neuroplasticity, and emotional development for a thorough understanding of how and why we risk losing the parts of ourselves we outsource to chatbots and algorithms. However, if we engage with intelligent systems consciously, not compulsively, Mind Leap argues that it is possible to enjoy the advantages of an AI-integrated world while protecting the mind on a personal scale, a societal scale, and for future generations. Chapters explore science-backed and actionable solutions for rewiring our brains and creating healthy partnership with AI.

With clear recommendations for individuals, institutions, and teaching children about AI, this book is a necessary resource for policymakers, educators, parents/guardians and concerned citizens who want to make sense of the relationship between Artificial Intelligence and the human mind.
