Whether you’re anxious about artificial intelligence or eager to harness its potential, Human Magic offers a powerful guide to thriving in the age of AI. As AI tools transform business, leadership, and the future of work, your greatest competitive advantage is not technology itself—it is the uniquely human capabilities that machines cannot replicate.

Drawing on three decades of research, executive leadership experience, and one of business education’s earliest comprehensive AI integrations, Johan Roos reveals why curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration are becoming more valuable—not less—as artificial intelligence advances. At the center of these capabilities lies practical wisdom: the essential leadership skill that enables better decision making, innovation, and judgment in a rapidly changing world.

Each chapter combines research, real-world business insights, self-assessments, and practical exercises to help leaders, entrepreneurs, managers, and professionals strengthen the human skills that drive meaningful results. Discover how AI can erode these capabilities when used carelessly—and how it can amplify them when used intentionally.

If you’re interested in leadership development, workplace transformation, business strategy, innovation, management, or professional growth, Human Magic provides a practical roadmap for remaining relevant, resilient, and irreplaceable in an AI-driven world.

Stop acting as an “AI concierge.” Become the leader who shapes outcomes that truly matter.

Notable Quotes:

The workplace is broken—and it’s holding everyone back. Women still struggle to grow in their careers, while men who endeavor to do their part at home are often stigmatized. This disconnect means that even when men take part in flexible work arrangements or contribute to caregiving, women end up picking up the slack and missing out on professional opportunities.

If companies want to reach their full potential and achieve true fairness at work, the workplace must change—and it starts at the top. In Fair Share, gender-in-the-workplace experts W. Brad Johnson and David G. Smith offer a blueprint for how leaders can break down systemic barriers across the organization so that men can do more outside of paid work and women can take their rightful place in the ranks of corporate leadership. They suggest focusing on three key areas:

In The Esa, we will examine God’s plan as it is laid out in the Bible. His plan has included:

working with the Jews to be His witnesses in the ancient world

Of course, we humans, both Jews and Christians, have failed greatly in our roles down through the ages. Thank God that Jesus did not fail.

The Esa is for Jewish people who want to know the truth about Jesus. It is also good for Christians who want to learn about the Tanakh, or Old Testament.

About the author

Mark has a passion for the Bible, which he has been studying and teaching for over 40 years. It has always been Mark’s goal to learn the message that each Bible author intended as opposed to trying to make the Bible agree with his beliefs. Out of His grace, G-d called Mark to write this important four volume series. Indeed, the subject of these books was never Mark’s idea.

In the year 2129, an elite team of Space Defenders uncovers a mysterious metallic vault buried deep within a distant alien pyramid. But they are not alone. Rival alien forces wage a brutal battle to claim the powerful object, triggering a chain of events that unleashes twelve enigmatic energy beings—ancient entities with unimaginable intelligence and purpose.

These entities are not mere observers—they are players.

Diving into the minds and ancestral memories of humanity, they select warriors from different eras—Vikings, Zulus, ninjas, soldiers, and more—to represent them in a high-stakes, interdimensional “game.” Each faction brings its own brutal history, strategy, and instinct for survival into a contest where the rules are unclear and the consequences are deadly.

As past and future collide, and as humanity becomes an unwitting pawn in a cosmic competition, one question remains:

Who will control the game… and what happens to those who lose?

Packed with intense battles, imaginative world-building, and a unique fusion of history and sci-fi, The Entity Game delivers a gripping adventure that challenges the limits of time, power, and destiny.

In 2020, Tony Paquin’s small medical supply company faced an impossible task—fulfilling a federal contract to procure one billion needles and syringes for America’s COVID-19 vaccination effort. What followed was a high-stakes battle against cutthroat factory owners, shady middlemen, relentless scammers, and even the Chinese Communist Party itself.

Through this ordeal, Paquin uncovered a dangerous truth: America’s dependence on China and foreign sources for life-saving drugs, medical supplies, and high-tech devices is a ticking time bomb. Nearly everything that keeps Americans alive is manufactured overseas—often under the control of a geopolitical rival.

The End of Us is more than a real-life thriller. It’s an urgent wake-up call about a critical national security threat—one that could be weaponized in a future conflict. With firsthand insights from inside the global supply chain, Paquin exposes the hidden dangers of America’s medical dependence and lays out what must be done to reclaim control before it’s too late.
