698: Joanna Stern - How to Think for Yourself in the Age of AI, Why Deep Work Still Matters, Making Career Decisions With ChatGPT, and How to Stay Human on Purpose

The Learning Leader Show With Ryan Hawk, 26 July 2026. The author is the guest. The book comes up at 2 min 29 sec in.

Joanna Stern discusses her book, in which she spent 365 days living with AI tools to report on their real-world impact. Host Ryan Hawk and Stern cover the dedication's theme of thinking for oneself versus outsourcing to AI, a chapter on watching a radiologist use an AI tool to read Stern's mammogram (the AI flagging a spot the doctor had missed), and Stern's use of ChatGPT to help decide whether to leave the Wall Street Journal. The book closes with sycophantic chatbot blurbs printed on its back cover.
