Still Human

Does your brain ever feel overloaded, distracted, or "always on"?

You're not imagining it. Today's tech is rewiring us in ways our minds were never built for.

AI organizes our lives, finishes our sentences, and nudges us toward what it "thinks" we want. It's impressive... but also overwhelming. Many of us feel more scattered, anxious, and disconnected than ever.

Still Human has been featured in AP News and mentioned by NBC, ABC, and CBS affiliate outlets for its exploration of tech-driven burnout and mental overload.

Still Human is a practical, honest, and often humorous guide to staying grounded in a world that never stops thinking. Product manager, writer, and mental health advocate Chris Cage explores how modern technology shapes our attention, emotions, and sense of identity - and what we can do to reclaim clarity in the middle of it all.

What you'll learn inside:

• Why constant notifications and "always-on" tools fuel restlessness - and how to slow the mental buzz
• Simple practices to protect your focus, energy, and emotional bandwidth
• How to use AI as a co-pilot rather than a crutch
• How to break out of productivity pressure and rediscover real rest
• Ways to think more deeply, set healthier boundaries, and reconnect with what actually matters

Whether you're a parent trying to be present, a professional drowning in digital demands, or simply feeling pulled in ten directions at once, Still Human offers both perspective and a path forward.

Why this book matters - and why now

As a product manager in healthcare technology and a long-time mental health advocate, Chris Cage has seen firsthand how digital tools shape the way we think, work, and recover. This book blends that insight with stories from endurance sports, parenting, and everyday life to help you stay fully human in a machine-driven world.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed by screens, schedules, or AI... this is your guide back to yourself.
