Creative Intelligence: Don’t Ask AI, Think With It
Breakthrough results don't come from better prompts. They come from better thinking.
Most professionals are being told to "use AI"—but no one is showing them how to think with it. So they default to the type in a prompt, grab an answer, move on.

This book shows you how.
Whether you're an individual contributor, team lead, or curious professional navigating the future of work, Creative Intelligence gives you the tools
