This is my personal story of battling leukemia as I entered my so-called “golden years.” Turning 65 marked the beginning of a series of profound changes, brought on by both family struggles and personal health challenges. Eventually, I was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. I endured grueling chemotherapy, fought through debilitating side effects, and then faced yet another blow — new heart complications and the looming possibility of a second, entirely different cancer. The two years chronicled in this story are about more than just survival; they are about fighting to hold on to my golden years for as long as possible, while seeking hope through faith and the support of loved ones. There are many books about miraculous recoveries and countless guides on maintaining a long, healthy life through diet, exercise, and wellness habits. But this is a different kind of story. It is about confronting the stark realities of a declining quality of life and the ever-present specter of death—while still striving to remain positive, hopeful, and grounded in faith, one day at a time.

Fighting for More Golden Years: Battling Disease and Embracing Hope After Age 65

The world we live in presents plenty of tricky, impactful, and hard-tomake decisions to be taken. Sometimes the available options are ample, at other times they are apparently binary, either way, they often confront us with dilemmas, paradoxes, and even denial of values.In the dawn of the age of intelligence, when robots are gradually taking over most decision-making from humans, this book sheds a bit of light on decision rationale. It delves into the limits of these decision processes (for both humans and machines), and it does so by providing a new perspective that is somehow opposed to orthodox economics. All Economics reflections in this book are underlined and linked to Artificial Intelligence.The authors hope that this comprehensive and modern analysis, firmly grounded in the opinions of various groundbreaking Nobel laureate economists, may be helpful to a broad audience interested in how decisions may lead us all to flourishing societies. That is, societies in which economic blunders (caused by over simplification of problems and super estimation of tools) are reduced substantially.
