Mentoring Beyond AI

This book--written by Jerry Miller, Anitha Kurup, S. S. Iyengar, Naveen Chaudhary, and Niki Pissinou--not only covers the "tools of the trade" (mentoring how-to), it also examines mentoring's ancient origins since Homer's Odyssey, and peers into its future in virtual and outer space.

Mentors are not born; they are mentees first and they evolve through trials and tribulations to success, to pass on their accumulated knowledge so the next generation can carry the torch yet farther. Such has been the experience of every known brilliant scientist in history. While they possessed the seeds of intellect and passion, they were nurtured to greatness by building on the wisdom and successes of others before them.

Filled with the authors' case studies and anecdotes from contributors, this book explores how we humans learn and pass on wisdom to those that follow. It explores the "mentoring mindset" needed to retrieve and transfer knowledge to the willing ears of mentees as they reach beyond even our newest frontier that is artificial intelligence. Look for answers in the book to questions like these:
How do mentees benefit from their mentors?What are the characteristics of a good mentor?How are bright minds enabled to realize breakthroughs?What are mentoring's origins and trends?
