Mind Your Self

We stand at the edge of an AI revolution that will transform how we live and work, but without deliberate choice, it could erode our capacity for nuance, relationship and courage.

Leaders must reclaim inner strength and shared imagination to steward AI in ways that deepen, rather than dull, our human potential for creativity, emotional depth and meaningful connection. Drawing on frontline military experience and psychoanalytic depth, this book shows leaders how to integrate AI without disintegrating humans, so that as technology accelerates, people can still feel, think and choose when it matters most.

Mind Your Self will help you:

• Understand how we arrived at this AI-inflected moment, psychologically and organisationally, rather than treating it as a purely technical shift
• Recognise the subtle 'symptoms' of AI-era strain in your workplace, from avoidance and collapse into certainty to attacks on thinking and relationship
• Respond to those symptoms with practical ways of leading: adjusting structures, conversations and routines to restore connection and purpose
• Work with your own mind and body under pressure, so you can stay present, curious and grounded when complexity and discomfort rise
