Everyone is programmed a little differently, and Bill Gates' unique insight led to business triumphs that are now widely known: the twenty-year-old who dropped out of Harvard to start a software company that became an industry giant and changed the way the world works and lives; the billionaire many times over who turned his attention to philanthropic pursuits to address climate change, global health, and U.S. education.

Story
Nvidia is the darling of the age of artificial intelligence: the company’s chips are powering the generative-AI revolution, and demand is insatiable. For all the current interest and attention, however, Nvidia is not of our time. Founded more than three decades ago in a Denny’s in East San Jose, for years it was known primarily in the then-niche world of computer gaming. In fact, the company’s leather-jacketed leader, Jensen Huang, is the longest-serving CEO in an industry marked by near constant turmoil and failure.

Read People like a Book isn’t a normal book on body language or facial expressions. Yes, it includes all of those things, as well as new techniques on how to truly detect lies in your everyday life, but this book is more about understanding human psychology and nature. We are who we are because of our experiences and pasts, and this guides our habits and behaviors more than anything else. Parts of this book are like the most interesting and applicable psychology textbook you’ve ever used. Take a look inside yourself and others!

AI Deployment Made Practical
This book is a great practical resource for anyone interested in implementing AI solutions.
I appreciate the book’s focus on the business acumen required for deploying AI. Sol’s insights on starting small and scaling quickly resonate with my own experiences in a startup environment. In the manufacturing industry, where leveraging bare minimum tech to stay relevant is often key to survival, the practical examples of applying AI to improve production planning and optimize supply chain operations with real-time data and AI-driven processes are particularly valuable.
A couple of years ago, during a holiday visit to Prague, I bought Melanie Mitchell’s AI: A Guide for Thinking Humans. It served as an introduction to the philosophy of AI. In contrast, Your AI Survival Guide is a practical handbook for applying these concepts in the business world.
I also loved the reference to the “rogue executive,” a term I’ve heard often. It perfectly encapsulates the bold and strategic mindset needed to overcome challenges like data quality issues and organizational resistance—both of which I’ve encountered in my own projects.
The line, “The tech is the easiest part of the lifecycle,” is so true! The real challenge lies in building the right strategies, fostering buy-in, and navigating the cultural and operational complexities of AI deployment. A solid foundation that prioritizes security, data integrity, privacy, and robust governance is essential from the start. Businesses must clearly define their goals and align their IT solutions accordingly. Rushing into new technologies without a well-defined strategy risks misalignment and inefficiency.
This book is a must-have for leaders who want to drive meaningful change with AI.

A story about Sol
I was looking for a book that would talk about AI and how to use it and what AI could do. I felt this was a brag about all she had accomplished and not how AI could help my company
