You do not need to understand cybersecurity or be a computer expert. But it is worth knowing when someone is exploiting your trust.
A system can be airtight. A fraudster will still call the person who can make an exception. Attacks do not necessarily break technology. They exploit pressure, haste and trust to get around safeguards through a seemingly innocent decision.
A familiar face on a video call and the CEO's voice are no longer proof of identity. The book shows how to stop a decision before pressure turns it into a vast and irreversible loss.
The file looked anonymized, but the confidential figures were still in it. An ordinary copy and paste was all it took. You will learn the rule that turns apparent anonymization into real protection.
A hotel, the in-room safe, an airport, a rental car and a public phone-charging port create an environment where convenience can work against you and your company.
Cybersecurity does not end where people begin.
That is exactly where the attack begins.
“The Luxury of Not Knowing” does not teach you to use tools. It teaches you to recognize the moment when an ordinary conversation, message, file or gesture becomes an attempt to take control. The senses of Odoardo™ bring a space to life, and this knowledge keeps it secure.
Each story leads from an innocent decision, through its consequence, to a clear rule of action. You read for a few minutes and remember for years.
You cover confidential figures with a black rectangle and send the PDF.
The recipient copies the text under the bar and learns your real margins.
Do not mask data — delete it permanently.
You record a professional voicemail greeting.
A fraudster clones your voice and calls your loved ones asking for money.
Agree on a family safe word before you need one.
You authorize an urgent transaction during a video call.
The faces and voices of the board members turn out to be AI-generated.
Confirm critical decisions through a second, independent channel.
After reading the book, you are left with a few questions you ask by reflex — before you confirm a transfer, share a file or believe someone's identity.
You will stop an urgent request before emotions switch off procedures and careful thinking.
You will turn the stories into clear principles for the board, the office and the home.
Not “is this real?” but “how did we confirm this person's identity?”
You will close the door on attacks that bypass the company and strike straight at your family.
Read this book yourself. Then pass on the key points to the people who manage your time and your contacts.
For people whose authority can be used to bypass any procedure.
For those who see the request, the calendar and the trip before anyone else does.
For the people a fraudster calls when the company's systems prove a hard target.
“The Luxury of Not Knowing” is an e-book by Marcin Jamro, PhD, DSc, Eng., on cybersecurity for executives, executive assistants and families. It presents 50 stories that illustrate rules of protection against social engineering, fraud and more. The e-book, in Polish or English, is available immediately at your request, and the printed edition signed by the author is on pre-order.
For board members and business owners, executive assistants and families — people who are frequent targets of social engineering and fraud, who have no time for technical jargon and do not need expert knowledge.
No. The book deliberately strips cybersecurity of IT jargon — instead of technical knowledge, you get ready-made reflexes and procedures. We put practice first and keep theory to a minimum.
You can buy “The Luxury of Not Knowing” as an e-book in PDF format or as a printed edition. If you request immediate access when ordering the e-book, you will receive the download link within minutes of payment. Without that request, we make the file available 14 days after purchase — until then, you keep your right of withdrawal. The printed edition is on pre-order: the author signs each copy with the name of the person you give us when you order, or with his autograph alone, and we ship it within 30 days of your order.
No. Your purchase covers a specific language edition — the Polish one (“Luksus niewiedzy”) or the English one (“The Luxury of Not Knowing”). You choose the language when you buy.
From the e-book, yes. If you do not request immediate access when ordering, you have 14 days to withdraw, and we make the file available 14 days after the contract is concluded. If you request access right away, the right of withdrawal expires as soon as the file is made available. The printed edition with a dedication is made to your specification, for one named person, so the right of withdrawal does not cover it. You can withdraw from the purchase of a copy signed with the autograph alone within 14 days of receiving it.
You download the file in Odoardo ID™, and we also send the link to your e-mail address. We recommend saving the file after purchase so it stays on your computer or phone. Corrected versions of the edition are made available free of charge in Odoardo ID™.
