    Can we navigate the digital world without losing our humanity? 
    My guest today is Jennifer Miller, and she believes we can. She has just written a book for parents that can serve as a roadmap to helping our children and teens find human connections and be prepared to live in a world over run with AI, social media, and the ever present internet. Her book is called "Humanaissance", and it's a guide to help adults parent teens in the age of AI and more. We have a fantastic conversation about her favorite books, what her book is about, her hope for the future - and we even manage to talk a little bit about Charles Dickens. I learned so much from my conversation with Jennifer, and I highly recommend her book!
