In the age of robotics and artificial intelligence, Karin Kiser wants us to point the finger at ourselves–because we are all robots in more ways than we imagine.

In Unplug Your Robot: The Secret to Lasting Happiness, she says we can break the spell that restricts our enjoyment of life. How? By finding the human in us. How do we do that?

In an easy-going writing style, Kiser guides readers through a series of activities and explorations that are meant to reveal who we are and how we became the person we are. Like robots, our bodies are wired. We are conditioned from birth to conform, to hide our real selves in lives dominated by thoughts that dwell on the past and on the future. Instead of where we actually are–the present.

“I have heard that before,” you say. So have I, many times. But not in words that Karin Kiser offers. Just the term “robot” unlocks my ability to recall and act upon her suggestions. It is a brilliant word choice that resonates.
