Narrated by: Jeff Burningham

"A refreshingly optimistic look at the possibilities of human-AI interaction."—Kirkus Reviews

What does it mean to be human?

At a time when AI is rapidly changing the way we live, work, and think, this may be the biggest question we face.

In The Last Book Written by a Human, tech entrepreneur and investor Jeff Burningham wrestles with the fundamental questions of existence, the future role of artificial intelligence in society, and the increasingly complex union between humanity and its creations.

With raw honesty, Burningham shares his personal story from Mormon missionary and Bishop to successful entrepreneur to his gubernatorial run and beyond, offering reflections on our otherworldly potential and uncertain future in the age of AI. His call to action is clear: As machines become smarter, we must become wiser.

You will discover:

* How the rise of AI is forcing humanity to confront fundamental questions about consciousness, intelligence, and what it means to be truly human.

* Why the development of AI must be guided by love, wisdom, and compassion.

* How to navigate relationships in the future, ensuring we maintain genuine human connection alongside increasingly synthetic ones.

* The importance of reforming institutions—religious, governmental, and business—to support human flourishing.

* The cosmic necessity of mastering your life as a human being, rather than a human doing.

This book is a wake-up call for our species to evolve beyond our unconscious patterns, false beliefs, and outdated systems in order to thrive in the age of AI.

A Wonderful Listen

I really enjoyed this book. Listening to the author read it in his own voice gave it a deeper impact for me. It’s time to remember what being human is and become more wise!

This is a transformative book for our day!

I have now listened to or read this book FIVE TIMES in the past 3 weeks, and each time I discover more! Few books have impacted me more. Honestly, for me, it has been like a deja vu experience... Like I’ve read it before. A re-awakening as I re-read truths I had heard before but had long forgotten. It has absolutely transformed my paradigm and view of the challenges we face as a society, and our opportunity to transform this world through one simple concept…

‼️ In an age of endless doing, our hope lies in taking back our place as humanBEINGS ‼️

No matter your background, I’d ask you to consider reading this book. It really is not about AI… it’s about US… who WE ARE. AI is just a reflection of us in the grand cosmic mirror of existence. Ultimately, there is a transformation occurring... perhaps the biggest one our world has ever known. How we respond to this transformation will impact every facet of life. If we want to turn the tides of society, we must answer the call to DO less and BE more! To be MORE human! I believe that this book will help awaken that call within you, as it has in me…
