New Book "Solving Life" Applies Value Investing Principles to the Ultimate Portfolio: Your DecisionsFor everyone: Learn to apply investing wisdom to life's biggest decisions.
For investors: Deepen your edge with fresh insight into value investing and how its principles shape a well-lived life.
LONDON, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- What if you approached life the way a world-class value investor approaches the market: carefully weighing risk, maximising upside, and building resilience against the unexpected?
Solving Life: Mastering Decision Making with Investment Wisdom by Pavlin Kumchev offers a bold framework for navigating life's biggest choices by treating them like a portfolio of high-upside, low-downside bets.
Originally conceived as deeply personal advice to his sons, this book evolved into something broader: a legacy of decision-making wisdom anyone can apply. Blending insights from value investing and behavioural science through the lens of lived experience, Solving Life introduces a mindset the author calls the Cheap Options strategy—a structured way to position yourself for upside potential while limiting downside risk. It's a philosophy of thinking clearly under uncertainty: not avoiding risk, but harnessing it.
"The best decisions have limited downside and the potential for outsized gains. This is the essence of the Cheap Options strategy," says Kumchev. "Make choices that protect against major losses while keeping you open to life-changing opportunities."
Kumchev, a Managing Director at Brigade Capital (a global multi-strategy investment manager), brings 20 years of experience at leading financial institutions, including Morgan Stanley, Blackstone, and Carlyle. His global life journey—spanning continents, markets, and ideologies—informs the book's rare combination of diverse perspectives, analytical clarity, and personal depth.
He urges readers to "live backwards," a method inspired by how great investors define their expected returns and work backwards to a decision. In Solving Life, this becomes a way of intentionally shaping one's path by thinking from the future back to the present.
Solving Life is not about shortcuts or trendy life advice. It's about building deep, durable motivation by understanding risk, clarifying your values, and making decisions that align with your long-term goals. It's a call to live deliberately and courageously, with resilience as your compass.
As Kumchev puts it:
"The smartest life strategy? Limit your downside, chase your dreams, and never stop collecting cheap options."
