AI Robots Review My New Book

3 min read

For the launch of my new book, I was concerned about doing an episode where I talked about myself and my work in the book. So, instead, I thought I would let some playful AI robots review the book and tell you all about it.

Check out the new book on paperback and Kindle here: Playful Humans: 52 Reasons to Rediscover the Power of Play in Your Life and Career https://a.co/d/bRJp8fn

Are you feeling burnt out, bored, or just plain stuck in “adulting” mode? Playful Humans is here to rescue your inner child and recharge your creative spirit! Author Mike Montague, play expert and host of the Playful Humans podcast, invites you to explore a surprising antidote to the daily grind: a daily dose of play.

In this refreshing guide to life, you’ll uncover 52 reasons to reignite your connections, creativity, physical and mental conditioning, and confidence in your life and work. Whether you’re seeking more fun, flow, fulfillment, or fearless action, this book offers practical insights and challenges inspired by psychology, neuroscience, and real-life “Playful Humans” who have turned their passion into a superpower.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • Humor and Inspiration – Discover power quotes, bad jokes, and playful insights that bring joy to your life’s journey.

Questions people ask

What is Playful Humans about?

Playful Humans: 52 Reasons to Rediscover the Power of Play in Your Life and Career is Mike Montague’s guide to escaping adulting mode. It gives 52 reasons and ways to reignite connection, creativity, physical and mental conditioning, and confidence through a daily dose of play.

Why did AI robots review the book instead of Mike?

He didn’t want to spend an episode talking about himself, so he let playful AI characters read and review the book. It is also a small demonstration of Human-First AI Marketing®: the human wrote the book and set the premise, and AI handled the performance.

How does play connect to marketing and AI?

Play fuels the curiosity, humor, and originality that make marketing feel human, which matters more as AI makes polished sameness free. Teams that protect room for play produce the inspired work machines can’t, and they burn out less doing the required work.
