Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. You saved. You invested. You compounded patiently for thirty years. And now, standing at the edge of retirement, you feel something no financial advisor prepared you for: the terror of watching the number go down.The Curator's Guide to Decumulation is the book the financial industry never wrote - because the financial industry has no incentive to help you spend your money. It was built to manage it. Indefinitely.Dr. Mircea Mihaescu spent three decades on the fintech frontier as a venture capitalist, software executive, and corporate innovation scout. He retired three times before he understood why the first two failed. This book is what he learned.Part psychological field guide, part analytical framework, part permission slip - The Curator's Guide to Decumulation walks you through the real work of the final chapter: not the spreadsheets, but the mindset shift that makes the spreadsheets usable.Inside, you will find: Why the habits that built your wealth are now working against you - and how to reprogram themHow to navigate the financial advice industry without becoming someone's recurring revenue streamThe five practices that separate the Curator from the Zombie SaverA framework for spending on what actually compounds: time, presence, and the people who matterHow to build a living legacy - giving with warm hands, while you are still here to see it workThe pile was the ticket.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The infrastructure that runs your world is managing itself. Do you understand what that means?Every time you make a payment, stream a video, board a flight, or check a medical result, you are depending on systems so vast and so complex that no human team could manage them manually. The cloud platforms, power grids, financial networks, and hospital systems that modern life runs on are monitored, repaired, optimized, and protected - continuously, automatically, at machine speed - by software that was designed to manage itself.This is not science fiction. It is the operational reality of every major organization on earth. And most of the leaders responsible for these organizations don't fully understand how it works - or what happens when it doesn't.Machines That Heal Themselves is the definitive guide for non-technical leaders who need to understand autonomous systems: what they can do, how they fail, and what responsible management requires.Drawing on decades of research and hands-on engineering at IBM and in the field of autonomic computing, Dr. Mircea Mihaescu explains the architecture behind self-managing systems - the four core capabilities that make them work, the feedback loops that keep them stable, the AI that is making them dramatically more powerful, and the new risks that come with that power.You will learn: Why complexity made human management of large-scale systems impossible - and what replaced itHow the MAPE-K framework turns raw monitoring data into autonomous actionWhat deep reinforcement learning actually does inside today's cloud platformsHow the world's most reliable systems are designed to fail gracefully rather than catastrophicallyWhere autonomous systems are being deployed right now - in healthcare, manufacturing, energy, finance, and transportationThe five risks that every leader must understand before expanding autonomous authorityWhat responsible autonomy looks like in practice - and what it demands of the humans still in the loopThe 2003 Northeast Blackout. The AWS S3 outage. The Flash Crash of 2010. These were not flukes. They were the predictable consequences of systems whose complexity had outgrown humans' ability to manage them in real time. The response - two decades of engineering effort that produced the self-managing systems now running the world - is one of the most consequential and least understood stories in the history of technology.Machines That Heal Themselves tells that story. And it gives every leader who reads it the framework to engage with autonomous systems not as a passive user, but as an informed decision-maker. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What if the way you've been taught to think is actively making your decisions worse?Every school, every coach, every motivational poster tells you the same thing: think positively, visualize success, believe it will work out. Engineers who design aircraft, nuclear plants, and life-critical systems spend their careers doing the exact opposite - systematically imagining every way something can fail before they commit to it.The engineers have the better track record.In The Power of Negative Thinking: Teen Edition, Dr. Mircea Mihaescu translates the reliability engineering toolkit into a practical framework for the decisions that already matter to you - where to apply to school, what activities to commit to, how to manage friendships under pressure, what risks are actually worth taking, and how to build a life that holds up when things don't go according to plan.This is not a book about being pessimistic. It is a book about being precise.You'll learn to use the same tools that prevent bridge collapses and aircraft failures: The pre-mortem - imagine your plan has failed, then work backward to find out why before it happensFault trees - map every path to failure so you can close them off in advanceWeak points - identify the single dependencies that, if they fail, bring everything else down with themMargins of safety - build buffer into your plans so unexpected loads don't cause collapseGraceful degradation - design your commitments so they fail partially, not catastrophicallyApplied not to machines - but to college decisions, athletic commitments, academic planning, social dynamics, and your own development as a person.Dr. Mihaescu spent his career at a global technology corporation designing self-healing computing systems, and the past two decades investing in more than fifty early-stage companies. He watched the same failure pattern repeat across every domain: intelligent people making personal decisions with none of the discipline they applied to their professional work. The structural errors didn't start in adulthood. They started in the years you're in right now.This book treats you as the intelligent person you are. It doesn't tell you to lower your expectations. It shows you how to build plans that are honest about what they depend on - and how to design for what happens when those dependencies don't hold.Negative thinking isn't pessimism. It's the discipline that makes success survivable.For readers ages 15-19. Also invaluable for parents, counselors, and coaches working with young people facing high-stakes decisions.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The problem isn't stupidity. The problem is the room.Every year, billions of dollars flow toward unproven supplements, MLM schemes, financial hype cycles, and political propaganda. The standard explanation is contemptuous: people are gullible. Easy Prey argues that explanation is wrong - and dangerously so.These industries don't exploit stupidity. They exploit something far more interesting: the gap between the minds evolution built and the world those minds now inhabit. Pattern-seeking, loss aversion, the drive for certainty, tribal belonging - these are not flaws. They are features. And entire industries are engineered to use them against us."Intelligence is no shield. The smarter you are, the more elaborate your rationalizations become."Drawing on cognitive science, evolutionary psychology, and thirty years of practitioner experience - as an IBM Director, Founder of SBT Venture Capital (early investor in eToro and Moven), COO of Moven, and CEO of Coinfirm - Dr. Mircea Mihaescu traces the architecture of exploitation from the inside. He shows what motivated reasoning looks like when a $200M software program quietly fails. He shows how a fintech startup, staffed by mission-driven people with good values, drifted into extracting fees from the customers it set out to serve. He shows how a room of experienced investors reached unanimous consensus in twelve minutes on a strategy that collapsed in fourteen months.The mechanism is the same in every case. And it has nothing to do with how smart the people in the room are.Easy Prey covers: The four overlapping vulnerabilities that exploitation industries target - and why IQ offers no protection against any of themThe cognitive science of self-deception, dissonance management, and post-hoc rationalization (Kahneman, Haidt, Trivers, Festinger)How commercial persuasion architectures are deliberately engineered to trigger evolved responses (Cialdini, Fogg, behavioral design)Why the "stupidity" frame fails - and what a more accurate diagnosis makes possibleA practitioner's toolkit: eight organizational tools for designing decision environments that produce less damage than the ones we currently have For readers of Thinking, Fast and Slow, The Righteous Mind, and Influence - and for anyone who has watched a smart person fall for something obviously wrong, and wanted a better explanation than contempt.Dr. Mircea Mihaescu holds a PhD in Electronic Engineering and has spent thirty years at the intersection of technology, finance, and organizational decision-making - as an IBM executive, venture capitalist and startup CEO. He is the author of seven books and founder of Mihaescu Press. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What if negative thinking is the most rational thing you can do?The self-help industry has spent decades teaching you to think positively. Engineers who build aircraft, nuclear plants, and life-critical systems spend those same decades doing the opposite - systematically imagining every way something can fail, so they can design against it before it does.The engineers have the better track record.The Engineer's Guide to Negative Thinking translates the reliability engineering toolkit - pre-mortems, fault trees, margins of safety, redundancy design, graceful degradation - into a practical framework for the decisions that actually determine how your life turns out: career pivots, financial commitments, health systems, relationships, and major transitions.Dr. Mircea Mihaescu draws on doctoral research in autonomic computing at IBM, twenty years of early-stage investment across fifty-plus companies, and his own hard-won experience applying these tools to the second half of a working life. The result is not a book about pessimism. It is a book about precision: how to make decisions that hold up when reality diverges from the plan - because it will.You will learn to: Run a pre-mortem on any major decision before you commit to itMap the fault tree - the chain of failures that leads to the outcome you most want to avoidBuild margins of safety into financial, health, and career systemsIdentify and eliminate single points of failure in your personal infrastructureDesign for graceful degradation so that setbacks become recoverable, not catastrophicThe reliability mindset is not a darker way to live. It is a more honest one - and the evidence from fifty companies, decades of engineering research, and the author's own life suggests it produces considerably better outcomes than hope alone.
