The power of being human in the time of artificial intelligence
Hi I’m David Romanelli,

How did we get here?
2009
When I wrote my first book in 2009, Facebook was just getting started.
2013
When I wrote my second book in 2013, Instagram was barely a thing.
2017
When I wrote my third book in 2017, Amazon Alexa was knocking on our doors.
In 2024, Artificial Intelligence is taking over the world.
But here’s the question...
How do we build our humanity in the face of all this technology?

The LOW Tech Boom
Coming Winter 2024
On September 30, 2023, I loaded my family into a driverless, high tech taxi called Waymo. What happened next was a reckoning: technology enhances our lives, but comes with risks.The moment inspired my new book which is a deep dive into the qualities that make us human, and the personal and professional advantages of compassion, gratitude, intuition, and joy.

Life Lessons from the Oldest & Wisest
Featured on multiple Amazon & Apple Bestellser Lists
Since 2011, I've been asking the oldest people among us for their advice on parenting, marriage, divorce, health, happiness.I have found the elder wisdom to be raw, unscripted, unbranded, poignant, and deeply personal.It probably won’t come to you in short, polished soundbites to cut and paste onto social media.But if you ask an elder to share their story, and if you are willing to spend some time and listen to their answer, they will teach you something that cannot be learned from the most successful self-help gurus or high-impact business coaches.
Livin' the Moment
#1 Bestseller on Amazon’s Self-Help Bestseller List
From Publisher’s Weekly:Romanelli shares his Zen approach to happiness in this guide to the care and feeding of a live-the-moment lifestyle.With an informal voice and a game sense of humor, Romanelli shares encounters from his own life-visiting a psychic, lessons learned from a toy poodle-that each come to worthy conclusion, reinforcing his point that peace comes from observation and appreciation.This lighthearted overview of awareness should provide seekers many ideas: "A moment, thoroughly enjoyed, takes you drifting through the past, sailing across the present, coasting into the future.”
