Human Machine is a book and personal development project by Jean de La Rochebrochard, exploring how people can build a better balance and become the best version of themselves. Drawing on his experience leading Kima Ventures, the startup investment firm associated with Xavier Niel, de La Rochebrochard describes how he adapted his approach to work and organization as his responsibilities grew. Rather than offering a conventional productivity formula, Human Machine examines the relationship between personal well-being, effective work, and continuous learning.

The book is organized around understanding oneself, taking action, and thinking long term. Its topics include managing pressure, recognizing emotions, planning and organizing work, setting boundaries, saying no, making decisions, handling interruptions, and developing routines. It also considers workplace practices such as meetings, explicit communication, and intense or asynchronous work, alongside broader questions about improving organizations. Human Machine is available to order, with a separate option for business orders. The project presents practical reflections for readers seeking to manage their time and responsibilities while maintaining a more balanced life.
