Best Selling Books by David Wood

From Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Wood, a battlefield view of moral injury, the signature wound of America''s 21st century wars. Most Americans are now familiar with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and its prevalence among troops. In this groundbreaking new book, David Wood examines the far more pervasive yet less understood experience of those we send to war: moral injury, the violation of our fundamental values of right and wrong that so often occurs in the impossible moral dilemmas of modern conflict. Featuring portraits of combat veterans and leading mental health researchers, along with Wood''s personal observations of war and the young Americans deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, What Have We Done offers an unflinching look at war and those who volunteer for it: the thrill and pride of service and, too often, the scars of moral injury. Impeccably researched and deeply personal, What Have We Done is a compassionate, finely drawn study of modern war and those caught up in it. It is a call to acknowledge our newest generation of veterans by listening intently to them and absorbing their stories; and, as new wars approach, to ponder the inevitable human costs of putting American "boots on the ground."

This book brings together the letters David Wood has written over the past eighteen years to the Community of the Three Hours, a network of people who have committed themselves to the hidden task of silent prayer for the peace of the world for some or all of the hours between twelve and three each Friday.To engage in this kind of prayer is to enter dark territory where indeed all words fail, where all one can do it to watch and wait. It is a call to be faithful to the commitment and not to expect to see tangible results.As David Scott writes in his Foreword: ''Believers experience an entry into darkness, a cloud of unknowing which is a test of faith... References to this tradition of prayer are taken from The Cloud of Unknowing, Henry Vaughan''s poems, and Meister Eckhart''s writings.'' But the most powerful references are to contemporary experiences of darkness: Nelson Mandela''s, Bosnia, the Shoah, the Twin Towers, and the film Trainspotting. Complementing the letters are contributions from Robert Gallagher, Anna Briggs, Doug Constable, and Stephen Brown.

For a short period of time, I was published in the St. Petersburg Times, now called the Tampa Bay Times. I have these five pieces here, five pieces for which I was paid $200 apiece, so for a short while I could consider myself a professional writer, though I still could not quit my day job. Though these pieces were not astounding or earth shaking, they were god enough to be used by the paper, so for a very short time I had a massive readership.

In a world rapidly transformed by artificial intelligence, your ability to thrive depends more on your mindset than your technical skill. Rewiring Your Mind for AI isn''t a technical manual-it''s a survival guide for working professionals, students, educators, leaders, and anyone navigating the accelerating impact of generative AI. Author and educator David A. Wood, Ph.D., argues that the most important shift we need to make isn''t learning to code or mastering AI tools-it''s updating our thinking. In this book, you''ll discover how your long-held beliefs, assumptions, and habits may be holding you back-and how changing them can unlock new levels of productivity, creativity, and career relevance. With vivid real-life stories-from confused grandparents to innovative college students-Wood illustrates how mindsets formed in earlier technological eras can limit our potential in today''s AI-driven landscape. Whether it''s assuming AI works like Google or expecting it to behave like a calculator, most of us are using outdated mental models that no longer serve us. This book teaches you to recognize those traps and replace them with more flexible, forward-thinking mental habits. You''ll learn the difference between deterministic and probabilistic thinking and why that matters when working with AI tools like ChatGPT. You''ll understand why hallucinations happen, how to use AI safely, and when to trust it (and when not to). Rather than fearing AI''s creative unpredictability, you''ll learn how to harness it to become a more effective problem solver, communicator, and collaborator. Packed with powerful examples-from Hollywood production studios to boardrooms, classrooms, and hospitals-Rewiring Your Mind for AI shows how generative AI is already transforming every industry. You''ll see how leading companies are using it to save time, cut costs, and do things that were previously impossible, and you''ll explore how people use it every day to elevate their work. Throughout the book, Wood draws on psychology, business, education, and technology trends to build a compelling argument: success in the age of AI will go to those who can unlearn the past and embrace uncertainty. If you''ve ever felt overwhelmed, skeptical, or just unsure about how to engage with generative AI, this book gives you a refreshing, empowering perspective. Rewiring Your Mind for AI is for learners and leaders alike. Whether you''re an executive making strategic decisions, an employee trying to stay relevant, a student preparing for a changing workforce, or just curious about how to make sense of it all-this book equips you with the most important skill of the AI era: the ability to change your mind. We are living through one of the most profound shifts in professional history. David Wood invites us to stop fearing the rise of artificial intelligence and start collaborating with it. His concept of Symbio-the coordination of humans and intelligent agents-offers a compelling blueprint for how we think, work, and lead in this new era. What makes this book truly stand out is its focus on mindset. David makes it clear that thriving in the era of intelligence requires more than just technology tools-it demands a new way of thinking. His vivid charts and real-world scenarios contrast the "old mindset" with the emerging GenAI mindset, helping readers identify where they are and where they need to go.
