I send pre-release editions to a small group of founders, operators and builders who'll actually use them. Tell me which titles you want first. Request early access→ Frequently asked ## What readers usually want to know ### Which books by Len P. van der Hof are available now? 11 titles are available now: The Psychology of Founder Resilience, AI Agents for Startup Strategy, The Agentic Author, The Agentic Codebase, The Multi-Agent Organization, The Calibrated Mind, The RAG Engineer, The Model Portfolio, The Verified Research Loop, The Agent Dream Team and The Evidence-Aware Life. Live formats and Amazon markets are listed on each book page. ### What is Systems for the Strategic Self? Systems for the Strategic Self is an operator-grade nonfiction series on founder psychology, agentic AI systems, evidence-based decision-making, and building under pressure. 51 titles are designed and covered; the wider portfolio holds 133 active book projects. Each book delivers one framework you can run, not just read. ### Are the Dutch editions translations of the English? No. Every title is produced as two native editions with their own style profile, their own examples, and their own editorial pass. The Dutch text is not a machine translation and does not read like one. ### Where can I buy the books? On Amazon. One ASIN per edition resolves across marketplaces, so every book page lets you pick your own Amazon store. Live Kindle editions are enrolled in Kindle Unlimited. Titles without a Kindle edition are print only. ### Are these books written with AI? AI agents do specialist work inside a gated production line: research, source capture, structural review, fact-checking, and red-team critique. Judgment, voice, and accountability are human, and every claim enters an evidence ledger with a source before it reaches the page. The system itself is documented in The Agentic Author. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Person", "@id": "https://lenvanderhof.com/#person", "name": "Len P. van der
