In a world where algorithms write strategies, generate designs, and analyse markets, what makes your work truly matter? Whether you're anxious about AI or eager to use it well, Human Magic reveals that your irreplaceable advantage lies not in competing with machines but in cultivating five distinctly human capabilities: curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. At the centre lies practical wisdom—the meta-capability that orchestrates them all.

Drawing on three decades of research across hundreds of organizations and pioneering one of business education's first comprehensive AI integrations, Johan Roos shows why these capabilities become more valuable in the age of AI. Each chapter follows a deliberate rhythm: grounding capabilities in historical wisdom, revealing how AI can erode them, then offering amplification practices and self-assessments to help readers strengthen what makes them irreplaceable. Discover how to move from feeling like "AI concierges" to becoming irreplaceable partners who shape outcomes that truly matter.
