About the author
Ted Yang
MIT-trained engineer, entrepreneur, and former finance executive at Bridgewater and Citadel. Founded twelve-plus companies. Serves on Connecticut’s Board of Regents for Higher Education. Global speaker. Emmy-nominated. Author of Table for Five.
Ageless Peak Performance is his most personal book — written from twenty years of watching brilliant people lose their edge before they had to, and the last three of watching AI quietly change that for the ones who used it well.
Twenty-plus endorsers,
three to start with.
“The leaders who thrive will be those who learn to understand and manage AI. Ted Yang has written the practical, no-hype guide to using it without losing what makes us human.”
“Ageless Peak Performance reframes learning as a lifelong advantage in the age of AI. Not something to fear. Something to master.”
“The AI revolution will either widen the gap between haves and have-nots, or close it. Ted Yang has written the guide to wielding this tool — not for the privileged few, but for anyone with the will to learn.”
Plus 17 more inside the book — from CTOs, CEOs, governors, cabinet secretaries, and academics.
