Books and references that shaped the thinking in AI Friction-Free:
- Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick — the structural reference for working with AI rather than fearing it or evangelizing it.
- Deep Work by Cal Newport — the friction-as-context-switching framing that informs Chapter 1.
- Atomic Habits by James Clear — the habit-stacking pattern under the Three Patterns framework in Chapter 5.
- The Mom Test by Rob Fitzpatrick — the calibrated-questioning approach used throughout the prompt-engineering chapters.
- Anthropic's Claude documentation — the technical primary source for Claude-specific feature references throughout the book.
