Com men tary: Both AI chat bots offered pret ty sol id book rec om men da tions, but we believe ChatS، proved supe ri or. Sure, we might be biased since it list ed our own book The Sharp Brains Guide more often, but the main rea son is that it did not include 1–2 ques tion able ،les that made the Chat G PT lists. In any case, the gen er al qual i ty of sug ges tions is very high, and any one inter est ed in these top ics would do well explor ing many of the book rec om men da tions above and select ing at least a cou ple ،les to build or expand one’s per son al li،ry on such impor tant ،in and health matters.

Hap py reading!
