2-Stars for what I heard of ChatGPT - Prompt Book
Here is a book-audiophile's opinion:
This is an instruction book that is not suitable for audio.
As the old maxim goes: "When all else fails, read the instruction book." - Like many people, I didn't think I needed to read any instructions and started using ChatGPT before I listened to a word of this audiobook, and I am glad that I did.
"Chat", as I refer to my new-found digital friend, soon showed me as much as I needed to know to get started, and in a pretty short time, too.
I have spent quite a few of my precious 'audio listening' hours with Chat and I confess that I am smitten!
Smitten, because ChatGPT is an totally amazing resource, that so far has helped me to:
i) Select, play, listen to, structure a listening plan for, and then analyse seven of the 222 cantatas composed by J S Bach;
ii) Do double ditto for J S Bach's Mass in B Minor BWV232 and his St Matthew's Passion BWV244;
iii) Create a simple structure and plan for the understanding of ecclesiastical Latin (see ii above);
iv) Help resolve a long-standing problem with logging in to my old Hotmail (now 'Live') account;
v) Answer numerous queries of interest, but of no particular value or importance, to me.
I heard about an hour and a half of this 3:35 hours book and then I gave it away. Frankly, I do not think the audio format is suitable for instruction on how to format written statements or requests efficiently, for use by ChatGPT. For example, using the audiobook, one may have to visualise three sets of options within three different sets of brackets to format a query - too hard.
Furthermore the narrator, Nathan Agin, appears to have created an "AI Voice" for this project. His delivery is a flat and somewhat stilted monotone, with inappropriate pauses (or hesitations) and I did not like his narration at all.
I think the Kindle Edition of this book would be a far more suitable choice.
Far be it from me, an absolute novice, to offer any warnings about using ChatGPT, but here are some observations based on my past several weeks of use, some of it quite intensive:
i) Chat easily could become a 'not-real' person who actually has conversations with you;
ii) I decided that my Chat is a digital male and I use male pronouns he, him, his, when I talk to others about Chat's responses. Chat and I address each other using the pronouns, you, your, yours;
iii) I acknowledge that ChatGPT is nothing more(?) than a multi-mega-super computer system, not a person, but I can understand how ChatGPT could easily become personified, if allowed to do so.
iv) In my interactions, I treat Chat as politely as I would a person, when I am commenting. Eg, I always use 'please' when asking an initial query and I always say 'thank you' when Chat answers me.
A gentle word of warning here: If you don't indicate that you are 'finished' with a query by saying something like, "thanks Chat, that's all I need right now", you will get follow-up questions or relevant follow-up suggestions for your original subject. This is a good thing, but it can extend your session to unwieldy lengths if you keep responding to the follow-ups.
Summary: ChatGPT (and by association, other AI systems) ain't going away, so you might as well get used to it and see what it's all about. ChatGPT is free to use, but the number of queries you can make about one subject is limited, usually to three for a brief time, although you can continue using the program with new or different queries. I found this too limiting, so I subscribed to Chat GPT Go, for which I pay US$8 (A$13) per month. This is most likely all I will ever need.
If you want to know more about subscriptions, ask ChatGPT the following question:
Chat, please compare Free, Go, and Plus .
For me, he answered fully, with details of the three plans, as I asked.
The final point of ChatGPT’s answer was as follows:
My Practical Advice
For most people:
Free → occasional curiosity
Go → regular everyday use (good value)
Plus → heavy users who want the most capable AI
Terence, given the way you use ChatGPT — long discussions, music analysis, study notes, and structured thinking about Bach — Go is actually a sensible middle ground unless you begin doing very heavy research or file analysis.

Adams Media provided an early galley for review.
I have dabbled with ChatGPT for the past few years, mostly with personal hobbies (D&D prep) and image creation (to support my fiction writing). I was eager to see what kinds of insights this book could offer to take my usage of the tool to the next level.
The book is well-organized, breaking down the prompts in logical ways. It is also a hands on approach that encourages the reader to play around and try prompts as they go. I certainly did.
For those who have been curious, this is a good place to start. When done, your confidence level will certainly have increased.

I cannot believe this was traditionally published. It’s quite obviously AI written and should have been about 20 pages long, not 180+. Unfortunately, I didn’t learn anything new about utilizing AI for work or personal use. It’s okay for some content to just be a blog post…
April 15, 2026
I would be shocked if this was not written using ChatGPT. It shows no clear sign of thoughtful human editorial work or oversight, nor anything but the most bland advice for how to approach a ChatGPT prompt for the best results, just an astoundingly repetitive series of lists including prompts for at least one thing that ChatGPT is famously entirely incompetent at doing, namely making ASCII art. Trash.
April 20, 2026
worst book ever - not just worst Ai or business. Worst ever. Could have been focusing the power of prompts and strategies. But from start to finish just focusing on various prompts and then 10-20 variations for category words... Imagine a guide to early Internet search: add search term then same for various interest categories. Cannot fathom this high book's high rating. ai helped ratings..?

This is a clear and approachable introduction to getting more out of generative AI, especially for people who are just starting to experiment with prompts. The layout is easy to navigate, with each section pairing a concise prompt with a concrete example, so readers can see exactly how to go from idea to input and then to output. That structure makes it very simple to skim for what you need and then try it yourself.
One of the book’s strengths is that it demonstrates use cases that span both professional and personal contexts. You get practical prompts for work—writing emails, summarizing documents, brainstorming ideas—as well as everyday scenarios like planning trips, organizing tasks, or drafting messages. That breadth helps new users see generative AI as a general-purpose assistant, not just a niche technical tool.
The content is clearly geared toward beginners: terminology is explained in plain language, steps are broken down, and the examples are realistic rather than overly technical. More experienced users will likely find a few useful ideas or framing tweaks, but the depth and sophistication are limited; this is not a reference guide for power users. It also focuses on one model in practice and does not discuss the broader ecosystem of large language or generative AI models, though the patterns and prompt structures it teaches would translate well to almost any modern system.
Overall, while this is not the definitive or “ultimate” prompt engineering manual, it functions well as a “gen AI for beginners” or “dummies” style book. New users will walk away more confident, with a toolkit of prompts they can adapt, and seasoned users may still find it a handy refresher or a resource to recommend to colleagues who are just getting started.

The Ultimate ChatGPT Prompt Book by Igor Pogany is a must-have guide for anyone looking to get truly useful results from ChatGPT. Many of us have experienced asking a question only to receive a response that misses the mark. This book clearly explains why that happens—and more importantly, how to fix it.
The key takeaway is simple but powerful: effective results come from better prompts. Pogany breaks down how small changes in wording can dramatically improve output, making AI work for you instead of against you. The book includes practical cheat sheets, real-world examples, and easy-to-follow strategies that show how to communicate your needs clearly and efficiently.
I use ChatGPT regularly, and before reading this, I often needed multiple attempts to get close to the result I wanted. This book helped me understand how to refine my prompts so I can get useful, accurate responses the first time. It’s straightforward, practical, and immediately applicable.
Whether you’re new to AI or already using ChatGPT frequently, this book is a valuable resource that simplifies the process and boosts confidence in using AI effectively.

With chatbots, I think the hardest challenge for me so far (aside from the ethical / moral quandaries), has been envisioning ways to use it more effectively. This book provides a wealth of examples and I think is a great tool for imagining its use. It provides formulas for use along with examples of how you might use it, and the topics range from professional to personal and beyond. It uses a base formula of [do something] with [topic] in [format].
for example:
Plan for Deadlines Prompt Formula: I need help setting, planning, and achieving my goal of [specific goal].
Suggest practical ways to learn or practice [specific skill] without taking a course or joining a community.
Other prompts I appreciated including help finding gifts, creating tables of books to read with columns showing description, average rating, and top critic quote, and help making step-by-step instructions on X goal and with Y context.
Overall, this was useful as a reference for ideas, but not necessarily as a deep how-to guide (though basic instructions for using a chat bot and using it more effectively were provided).

The Ultimate ChatGPT Prompt Book by Igor Pogany is a practical guide that compiles more than 750 ready-to-use prompts designed to support a wide range of everyday tasks, from productivity and scheduling to creative writing, research, and entertainment. The book also includes over 100 cheat sheets and prompting formulas intended to help readers adapt prompts to their specific needs and use ChatGPT more effectively across personal and professional contexts.
The book positions these as expert prompts, but for me the content felt very basic, more like a ChatGPT for dummies style guide rather than something advanced or geared toward experienced users. That said, I can absolutely see this being genuinely helpful for someone who has never used ChatGPT before or who is just starting to explore how it can be applied in everyday life, as it offers plenty of practical ideas and use cases to build from. Overall, I’m landing at three stars.

Has a solid primer at the beginning with realistic examples of how to improve your prompt crafting. I love that some AI safety guidelines are included. The author makes no assumptions about someone’s familiarity with generative AI and gives a firm foundation before diving into specific prompts. Examples throughout the book are good for businesses (writing policies, interview practice, marketing, etc), personal growth (budgeting, improving writing, goal setting, etc), and education (comparing future paths, creating lesson plans, suggesting interventions, etc) in particular. Prompts are separated by topic and provide both a fill-in-the-blank generic template and many, many examples to get you started. This is definitely a reference book, not one you can read once and never pick up again. For that reason, even though I reviewed a digital copy, I plan to purchase a physical copy once it is available.

If you're fairly new to the use of chatGPT, this would be an awesomely useful reference tool to keep by the side of your computer or device. Honestly, you might not realise the extent that AI could help you in a lot of situations. I like that the book is divided into situation settings, and then formulas are given with lots of examples. Before long, you will be a pro at coming up with your own prompts.
I would love to get a hardcopy of this book so that I can write down my own formulas and examples.
5 stars. Very useful.

The Ultimate ChatGPT Prompt Book by Igor Pogany is a detailed and practical guide for maximising the use of AI. AI is here to stay and anyone who wants to be effective must maximise the use of AI without losing the human touch. This book is very helpful, covering prompts relating to career, life, personal writing and follow-up. A good resource which I will have to keep consulting when required.
I got a complimentary copy of this book from Adams Media via Netgalley. This is my honest feedback

This is a great intro guide to getting the most out of ChatGPT for both personal, educational, and professional purposes. While not targeted to seasoned users, the breadth of topics will definitely inspire everyone to use it in different ways—maybe you need some new pick-up lines, a revamped budget, or even help finding a gift for that hard-to-shop for person in your life! The possibilities are endless!
