Have You Embraced Your Physical AI…?

Have You Embraced Your Physical AI…?

Read this article on LinkedIn to join the conversation

When was the last time you upgraded? I’m not referring to your hotel room… or your seat on a plane… or your phone… or even your OS.

You… yourself?

CES 2026 made one thing unmistakably clear: The real technology conversation is shifting… from Artificial Intelligence (AI as we currently know it) to Physical AI.

NVIDIA and others are defining Physical AI as the moment intelligence leaves the cloud… leaves the chat parlor tricks… and becomes embedded in the real world. It’s no longer just a talking assistant… Not just smarter apps… Not just faster back-end workflows… but intelligence inside the things we touch, use, and depend on like cars, appliances, devices, factories, and infrastructure.

As Jensen Huang said at NVIDIA GTC 2023, “The next wave of AI is embodied AI… intelligence that is in the physical world… interacting with people and machines.”

And that is the shift…

AI no longer lives somewhere abstract. It lives in cars, in refrigerators, in robots, and on factory floors.

As WIRED reported in its CES 2024 coverage, “From smart factories to autonomous machines… AI is now powering physical decision making.”

Which brings us to the real inflection point: Physical AI drives a stake through the heart of the old Internet-of-Things story. IoT was about connection. Physical AI is about capability.

A sensor telling you you’re out of milk is connectivity. A system that understands your habits, your health goals, your preferences, and acts intelligently on your behalf… that’s Physical AI. The connection still matters…It always will. But intelligence in the thing is what makes it transformative.

I got on to the bus.

I got on to the bus. Seeing the crowd inside, I was upset. There was no place to sit. Just then, a person vacated his seat.The man standing next to the vacant seat could have sat there, but instead he offered the seat to me.

At the next stop, the same thing happened again. He gave his seat to another. This happened 4 times during the entire journey. The man looked like a normal worker, returning home after a long day at work…

At the last stop when all of us got off, I spoke to him.

“Why were you giving your seat to another person every time you got a vacant seat?”

His answer took me by surprise.

“I haven’t studied much in my life nor do I know many things. I don’t have much money either. So I don’t have anything much to give to anyone. That’s why I do this everyday. It is something I can do easily.

“After working all day I can stand for a little longer. I gave my seat to you and you said thank you. It gave me satisfaction that I did something for someone.

I do this daily & feel I am contributing in some way.

I go back home refreshed & happy every day that I gave something to someone.”

I was speechless!

Wanting to do something for someone on a daily basis is the ultimate gift.

This stranger taught me a lot –

How easy it is to be rich from within!

Beautiful clothes, lots of money in the bank account, expensive gadgets, accessories & luxuries or even educational degrees – may or may not make you rich and happy; but a small act of giving is enough to make you feel rich & Happy everyday

THE SEAT OF THE SOUL. www.seatofthesoul.com
25th Anniversary Edition with a Study Guide
“If there was just one book on this planet that I could recommend that you read, it would be this book, The Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukav. It has been for me, one of, if not the most powerful book I’ve ever read, except for the bible.”
—Oprah Winfrey
“I suggest to the new Zukav reader to draw close to share this book with someone who has firm nerve and a wonderful sense of humor because when Zukav’s ideas stop challenging you, you will laugh with the wonderful laughter of the discoverer who has found a new continent.”
—Maya Angelou
“The Seat of the Soul is a very important book tome.
—Paul Coelho, author of The Alchemist
“There are two books that I absolutely live my life by. This is one of them.”
—Jay Z on Oprah.com
Originally published on March 15, 1989, THE SEAT OF THE SOUL revolutionized the field of self-discovery. This legendary book was a #1 New York Times Best Seller 31 times and remained on the New York Times Bestseller list for three years. It has sold more than three million copies in the U.S. and has been translated into 32 languages.
Prefaces by Oprah Winfrey and Maya Angelou and a new foreword from Gary Zukav update the twenty-fifth anniversary edition. In addition, an extensive study guide helps readers deepen their knowledge and apply Gary’s teachings in concrete and practical ways. At the end of each chapter there is a link to an online extension with a video, meditation, exercises, and support for creating your own study group.
With the same masterful skill he used to demystify scientific abstraction and quantum physics in his award-winning Dancing with the Wu Li Masters, Gary Zukav takes us on a penetrating exploration of the new phase of evolution humanity has entered.
With lucidity and elegance, Zukav explains that we are evolving from a species that understands power as the ability to manipulate and control—external power—into a species that understands power as the alignment of the personality with the soul—authentic power. Our evolution now requires each of us to make the values of the soul our own: harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for Life. Using his scientist’s eye and philosopher’s heart, Zukav shows how infusing our activities with compassion and trust enlivens them with meaning and purpose. He illustrates how the emerging values of the spirit are changing marriages into spiritual partnerships, psychology into spiritual psychology, and transforming our everyday lives.
A new species is being born inside of us. The Seat of the Soul is about this birth, what it means, and how we can participate in it joyfully.

More praise for THE SEAT OF THE SOUL
“The Seat of the Soul changed the way I see myself. It changed the way I view the world. It caused a profound shift in the way I conduct all my relationships, business and personal. . . . I’ve taught leadership classes at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls with the help of The Seat of the Soul. I’ve used its principles to teach elementary school students, high school students, even MBAs at the Kellogg School of Management. I get a surge of delight every single time someone reads this book and feels the amazement I felt 25 years ago.”
—Oprah Winfrey
“There are two books that I absolutely live my life by. This is one of them. Growing up, I was always curious about religion. This book made the most sense to me; it’s about the way you live your life. I believe in karma and doing the right thing even if it may not advance you as far as you want. If every single person felt the same way about karma and intention, then the world gets fixed tomorrow. But temptation gets in the way. Zukav is right: It may take lifetimes to learn.
—Jay Z on Oprah.com
“Filled with wisdom, and written in a beautifully simple, almost poetic style, The Seat of the Soul is a book to be savored.”
—Brian Weiss, MD, (former) Chairman of Psychiatry, Mt. Sinai Medical Center, author of Many Lives, Many Masters
“How remarkable—to find that one of our finest interpreters of frontier science is equally conversant with the human spirit. This augurs well for our times.”
—Huston Smith, PhD, former professor of philosophy, MIT, renowned world religions scholar, author of The Religions of Man
“A remarkable treatment of thought, evolution, and reincarnation.”
—Library Journal
