The AI Antidote: Preserving Human Connection and Emotional Intelligence in a Tech-Driven World

What does it mean to stay human in a world shaped by algorithms? Licensed counselor, mindfulness educator, and retreat leader Joni Staaf-Stamford offers a practical, hopeful path for navigating AI without losing what matters most: emotional intelligence, genuine connection, creativity, and inner calm.

Drawing on psychology, mindfulness, and lived experience, this book shows how technology influences attention, relationships, and mental health, then presents ten antidotes that help you reclaim presence, resilience, curiosity, creativity, and intuition. You will find simple practices for daily life, reflective prompts, and a humane framework for using AI with clarity and integrity.

This is not a rejection of technology. It is a guide to engaging with it intentionally, protecting your well-being, and strengthening the skills that machines cannot replicate.

If you are looking for a balance between innovation and mindfulness, and you value human connection in a digital world, this book is for you. Readers who appreciate The Anxious Generation (Jonathan Haidt), Alone Together (Sherry Turkle), The Shallows (Nicholas Carr), and The Comfort Crisis (Michael Easter) will find a kindred companion here.
