Newly released book equips small business owners with trademarked, human-centric systems to increase profits and unlock employee potential
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As enterprises race to use artificial intelligence to cut headcount, a groundbreaking new book offers small business owners a different path: use AI to strengthen their teams rather than shrink them.
"The AI to Soul Ratio," by New York Times bestselling author and eight-time entrepreneur Eve Mayer and experienced systems architect Levi Sauerbrei of EveandLevi.com, provides a technology-agnostic playbook for driving profitability with AI while supporting the people who make the business work.
Designed specifically for companies with fewer than 100 employees, the book introduces two trademarked systems for using AI effectively while protecting and growing human talent: the Four-Lobe Business Brain™ and the AI to Soul Ratio™.
The Four-Lobe Business Brain maps a small business's departments to the four lobes of the brain, so owners can see where AI fits in each part of their business.
The AI to Soul Ratio scores each task to help businesses determine whether it should be handled by AI or remain with a human. The proprietary framework identifies the work people do best and value most, such as creative thinking, product development and one-on-one interactions. It then helps teams use AI to make suitable operational processes repeatable, freeing employees to focus on meaningful, human-centered work.
"The question isn't 'Who can we replace?'; rather, it's 'What can AI take off our people's plates so they can do higher-value work?' We've coined it 'Elevate, Don't Terminate,'" said co-author Eve Mayer, a New York Times bestselling author.
"Most owners think the hard part of AI is picking the right tool. It isn't. Tools change every few months. The hard part is knowing which work belongs to a machine and which belongs to your people. We designed this book so the answer holds up no matter which tools you use," said co-author and technologist Levi Sauerbrei.
"The AI to Soul Ratio" is available for preorder on Amazon ahead of its Dec. 5, 2026 release, accessible now on Kindle, and coming soon on Audible. It is also available for purchase at EveandLevi.com, where readers can download the accompanying worksheets for free.
The book is being translated into 138 languages through a partnership with AI-enabled tech company, Dynamic Book Portals. This will make the AI to Soul Ratio and its human-centered approach one of the world's most accessible books on AI for business.
