"Our journey begins in the 5th century AD, a time of great migrations and upheaval. The Roman Empire had recently withdrawn from Britain, leaving the land open to new influences and settlers. It was during this period that the Anglo-Saxons, a collection of tribes from what are now Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands, began to make their way across the North Sea to the British Isles. The Anglo-Saxons were not a single unified group, but rather a mix of peoples, including the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. Each brought with them their own dialects, which would eventually blend and evolve to form what we now call Old English.

Welcome to my weekly "English with Nab Podcast," this week we are going to talk about Living and Working with AI. In November 2022, a revolutionary new tool was made available to everyone with an internet connection at no cost. A generative form of language-based artificial intelligence known as CHAT-GPT entered the world, and was taken up by 100 million people more quickly than any other product in history. CHAT-GPT represents a new generation of AI, one in which AI technology functions as co-intelligence. This means that rather than following more procedural and repetitive processes as previous iterations of AI have, CHAT-GPT emulates human thinking patterns. Its generative, flexible functionality is transforming not only how we humans approach work, it's also having a profound impact on how quickly complex tasks are achieved, in some cases increasing productivity by 60%.  And this new generative AI isn't just making its mark on the workplace. Everything from education to entertainment is feeling the effects of artificial intelligence. No one knows exactly what the future holds, especially as AI continues to outperform expectations and behave in surprising and unanticipated ways.

Remember that time you talked to that friend about the differences between short-term and long-term memory? You probably don't! We don't blame you, we can hardly remember what we had for lunch yesterday.

Therefore, Horsley's very actionable book offers many different ways on how you can do this. Let's have a look at the most attention-grabbing ones.

When Kevin Kelly turned 68, he sat down to curate a collection of pithy life advice he wished he'd encountered earlier. He intended to gift this informal compendium to his young adult children. However, over the following years, his treasure chest of aphorisms grew and took on a life of its own. Today, it contains 450 “bits” – a selection of which we'll explore in this book.  Some of these bits are well-known and widely spouted. Kelly makes no claim of ownership or originality. Instead, he offers us a glimpse into the trove of maxims he's accumulated from a vast array of sources on his journey to date. Perhaps most crucially, he offers an insight into the advice he believes best paves the way to a better life.  Just as a tiny acorn contains a giant oak, each of these bite-size bits could grow into a lengthy book in its own right. But rather than dictate how to apply the wisdom presented, Kelly invites you to expand on each bit to fit your life and experience. And if a bit doesn't resonate? Simply set it aside and move on to the next. So, fill your pockets with the proverbs that feel true to you at this moment in time. You can always return to this book as you venture further down the path to an excellent life. 

These days, the American education system doesn't put much emphasis on Greek and Roman classics. Yet, the influence of ancient thought can still be felt in countless ways. Head to America's capital, Washington, DC, for instance, and you'll see buildings designed in the classical style. Turn on the news, and you'll hear talk of Republicans and Democrats: terms derived from Latin and Greek, respectively. But Greece and Rome made an impact on America that goes well beyond esthetic choices and linguistics. The writings of the ancient world were central to the way America's founders viewed their budding nation. In a time of national turmoil, it's all-important for today's Americans to revisit –⁠ and refocus –⁠ on their nation's first principles.

But for those who stick with it, brave the storm, and ride through to the end, the results can be life-changing. For five of therapist Catherine Gildiner's patients, therapy was precisely that.

Get a grasp on what's going on in this crazy world, and help steer society to a brighter future. Imagine a book, 1,000 pages long. This book contains all 200,000 or so years of human history – about 250 years per page. The vast majority of the book covers our hunter-gatherer years. The agricultural revolution – the start of what we normally talk about as ancient history – doesn't begin until page 950. Page 1,000 covers all of US history, from the 1770s until now. You may notice that the book gets a lot busier towards the end. This is exciting and scary for several reasons. First, technology is increasing exponentially – the jump from page 999 to 1,000 is way greater than between any of the other pages. Second, this new technology is raising the stakes – page 1,001 could be a technological utopia – or a devastating nightmare. The problem is, we're not just reading this book – we're writing it. And at the moment, it's being written by a bunch of spoiled, immature toddlers. You see, society isn't maturing in the way that we'd like. Tribalism, false news, floundering institutions, and political division are just some of the problems that define the tumultuous times we live in.

And if you said no, then perhaps you need to think about it for a little bit longer. The truth is that no one has just the right answers. Not this book, not any book, no one. The reality is that instead of answers, we really only have our own experiences to share and the advice that others can give us. Tiny Beautiful Things, thoughtfully constructed this part memoir, part advice column based on her “Dear Sugar" advice column to help us find the beauty in places that we wouldn't normally expect it to be. She admits that her advice isn't based “necessarily on the right-wrong continuum” but that there should be a variety of factors that go into making appropriate decisions in life. And what are those? Well, they include: self-realization, acceptance, forgiveness, and resilience. desperation, and redemption.

Learn strategies to heal, foster self-love,  and uncover your own inner power. While I  sat down to write my book, my pulse quickened and my palms started to sweat. Anxiety started to take over as negativity and self-doubt slowly crept in. “Why is this happening?” I asked myself. After all, I'd taught thousands of people how to incorporate writing into their self-healing practice, led countless self-care workshops, and helped clients from all walks of life begin their healing journeys. I was certainly qualified, so why did I suddenly feel like an imposter? At that moment I discovered a very important truth – the stories we tell ourselves are powerful enough to control who we believe we are.

This deterministic view held that human beings were essentially a series of dominoes – propelled forward by the momentum of what had come before. Then, at the end of the twentieth century, a band of revolutionary researchers burst onto the scene. These self-dubbed “positive psychologists” provided an almost polar opposite explanation for human behavior: that human beings weren't pushed by their past; they were pulled by their future.
