Artificial intelligence is changing how people learn, create, decide, relate, and work. But the defining question of the AI age is not simply what intelligent systems can do. It is whether individuals and institutions can use extraordinary capability without surrendering human dignity, judgment, responsibility, freedom, relationships, or purpose.
In The Enduring Mind, Jean R. Lainé, Ph.D., develops a rigorous, durable, human-centered framework for answering that question. Drawing on Christian faith, twenty-nine years in education, lived experience, and careful engagement with interdisciplinary research and public policy, he moves beyond both technological fear and uncritical acceptance. His central claim is clear: powerful assistance should expand human capacity while remaining accountable to worthy ends that people can examine, defend, and revise.
Across fifteen chapters, Lainé shows why:
- Human worth cannot be reduced to comparison, performance, usefulness, or machine-generated rankings.
- Capability must serve worthy ends, and sound judgment must remain evidence-aware, humble, and correctable.
- Assistance never removes accountability, and superior performance does not create a right to rule.
- Meaningful agency requires the freedom to understand, question, refuse, and recover—while preserving reciprocal relationships and the intellectual work through which people are formed.
- Human contribution extends beyond employment, and leadership becomes trustworthy when stewardship is built into institutions and directed toward shared flourishing.
Written for educators, leaders, policymakers, faith communities, and thoughtful readers across professions, The Enduring Mind is neither a catalog of short-lived tools nor a collection of predictions. It offers an enduring standard for evaluating emerging technologies: Do they strengthen human agency, accountable judgment, reciprocal relationships, meaningful contribution, and institutions worthy of trust?
Hopeful, disciplined, and ethically serious, this book invites readers to welcome powerful assistance without surrendering the authorship of human purposes—and to ensure that intelligence, however advanced, remains answerable to the enduring value of the human person.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
