You ask your AI for a "quick" answer. You tell your phone to "remind you." You follow the GPS dot.

With each click, you are making an invisible trade: convenience for cognition. You are accumulating Cognitive Debt.

This book is not a luddite's manifesto—it is an evidence-based diagnosis of a problem we all feel. We are trading our ability to think, remember, and create in exchange for the seamless, friction-free "help" of our machines. The cost? A measurable decline in our most essential human faculties.

Drawing on stunning new research from MIT, Harvard, and leading neuroscience labs, Cognitive Debt exposes the hidden mechanisms of this trade:

• 
  
• Digital Amnesia: Discover the neurological "smoking gun" showing how the act of "saving" a memory to a device is neurally indistinguishable from an order to deliberately forget it. [1]
• 
  
• The GPS Atrophy: See the stunning, long-term proof that passively following a GPS leads to a "steeper decline" in your hippocampus, the brain's memory and navigation center. [2, 3]
• 
  
• The Great Flattening: Uncover how Generative AI, while appearing "creative," is actually steering entire groups of people toward the same identical ideas, eroding collective originality. [4]
• 
  
• The Deskilling Paradox: Learn why over-reliance on AI doesn't just make us complacent; it actively undermines our ability to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. [5]
• 
  
• The Focus Collapse: Understand how AI-driven algorithms are rewiring our brains for "bottom-up" attention, creating a state of "brain rot" that shatters deep focus. [6]
• 
  
  

But this is not a terminal diagnosis. This book provides a powerful, actionable framework for reclaiming your mind.

You will learn the "Centaur" Solution [7, 8], a battle-tested model pioneered by chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov for turning AI from a cognitive crutch into a tool for Intelligence Augmentation. You will get a practical plan for "Digital Hygiene" [9] to rebuild your cognitive fortitude.

If you feel your focus shattering and your memory fading, this book is the manual for how to fight back.
