A first look at Amplified, now on pre-order for $4.99

Happy Thursday!

Welcome back to HOW TO // AI! Last week I told you I wrote a book. The response was more than I expected, so thank you. A lot of you replied, shared it, and tapped to get early access.

This week I've got three things for you: the cover, a real taste of what's inside, and the news that you can pre-order it right now.

Here's what's in today's issue:

Let's get into it.

This is Amplified: The Proven Path From AI Tools to Peak Productivity, and seeing it as a real cover on Amazon instead of a draft in a folder still feels a little surreal.

The title took me a long time to land on. I kept coming back to one idea: the goal was never to replace yourself with AI, or to compete with it. It's to use it to make everything you already do louder, faster, and more valuable. To amplify it. Once that word stuck, the whole book clicked into place.

It comes in four formats: the Kindle ebook, a paperback, a signed edition I'll be hand-signing and shipping myself, and an audiobook coming to Audible. The Kindle edition is the one you can grab right now.

Here's how the book is laid out. Four parts, twelve chapters, built to take you from "AI is a tool I sometimes use" to "AI is woven into how I work, earn, and lead."

Part One: Amplified Mindset
From tool to teammate, becoming an amplified professional, and prompting as a superpower.

Part Two: Work Smarter
Getting your time back, thinking faster and deciding better, and creating more with less stress.

Part Three: Amplified Income
The AI income stack, standing out in your field, and selling smarter.

Part Four: Outperform Yourself
Your personal performance system, leading an amplified team, and the personal agent revolution.

Every chapter ends with copy-paste prompts you can use right away. And here's the part I'm most excited to give you before launch: the book's entire appendix, the Amplified Prompt Library, is online for free, organized by the same chapters above. So you can see exactly what the prompts for each part look like.

If you're reading this in your inbox, you can open it with no email required:

Consider it a working preview. The library gives you the prompts. The book is where I explain how and when to use each one, and the thinking that makes them work.

The Kindle edition is live for pre-order today, and it's set at the launch price of $4.99. That's a limited pre-order price. After launch week it goes up to $9.99, so pre-ordering now locks in the lowest price it'll ever be.

When you pre-order, it lands on your Kindle automatically on launch day, July 17th. You don't have to remember to come back for it.

The paperback, the signed copies, and the audiobook aren't on pre-order, but I want the people who want those to be first in line. The signed copies especially are a limited run.

If you'd rather have the print book or the audiobook, tap below and I'll make sure you hear the moment they're available:

(One tap, no forms, no typing.)

Know someone who'd want the book too? Send them the waitlist.

Have a question about the book? Just hit reply and ask. I read every email, and a few of your questions from last week are already shaping how I talk about the launch.

Two weeks to go. I can't wait for you to read it!

Talk soon, David
