In "Trust Capital", Plamen Rusev offers us not just an autobiography, but a deep, intimate journey through the roots of success, the wings of vision, and the challenges of a future dominated by technology and ethics. The book, which I had the privilege to read in preview, is a true masterpiece — a combination of personal memories, philosophical reflections, and visionary predictions that will make you think about your own life. If you're looking for a book that inspires, challenges, and instills hope, this is it — the perfect companion for anyone who wants to understand how trust can change not just business, but the world.

From roots to stars: What the reader will discover

The book is divided into five parts, each of which is a step in Rusev's evolution — from humble childhood in Varna, where the metal pan with dill becomes the first lesson in economics and human relationships, to global predictions about AI's role in human life. The reader will find:

• Personal stories that touch the soul: From digging a well with his father (symbol of trust and perseverance) to creating Webit and WIN — Rusev tells with vulnerability about failures, mistakes, and moments of insight. These anecdotes are not just memoirs, but lessons for everyone — how to turn invisibility into strength, how to invest not just capital, but heart.
• Philosophical depth with practical advice: Rusev weaves reflections on trust as "energy" with real investment strategies (e.g., the "4x25" model for sustainable portfolio). He discusses AI not as a threat, but as an opportunity — with predictions from 2015 (9 out of 10 fulfilled by 2025) and new ones for the next decade that provoke reflection on ethics, work, and humanity.
• Vision for the future with a mission: The book is a manifesto for "trust economy" — from creating WIN (platform that democratizes VC investments) to investments in companies like BeeHero (saving bees through AI) and inHeart (digital hearts for surgeries). The reader will discover that success for Rusev is not in profit, but in meaning — how to build a future that is ethical and sustainable.

The style is readable and poetic — short chapters, metaphors (like "tension in the skin") and dialogues with his children create emotional connection. It reminds of "Sapiens" by Yuval Harari (philosophy + facts) and "Becoming" by Michelle Obama (personal evolution with inspiration).

Who is this book for?

For entrepreneurs, investors, and anyone seeking meaning in chaos — from a 25-year-old startup founder who wants to understand risk, to a 60-year-old leader reflecting on their legacy. If you're interested in topics like AI ethics, sustainable business, or the human in the age of machines, this book will change you.

Potential and recommendation

With global themes (trust, AI, climate) and personal charm, "Trust" has potential for international bestseller — especially in English translation. Rating: 9/10. It's not just a book — it's a companion that makes you dream bigger and invest wiser. I highly recommend it — pre-order it and dive into the journey!
