It began with
a difficult year.
Steve Bolton wrote Think With Me from the work and life described in its pages: businesses, family, caring for his parents, and decisions that still needed making when thinking had become difficult.
A conversation with AI became a different way of approaching that work. Questions, challenge, context and continuity mattered. So did knowing what to leave human.
“Some answers were wrong. The thinking was still useful.”
The book follows that practice through other people’s experiences. They bring scepticism, ambition, responsibilities, relationships and their own standards. Their choices give the ideas their substance.

Bolt Practice
Bolt Practice helps people and businesses think better with AI.

Think With Me introduces Bolt Method™ through the governing question:
