Every generation thinks they're living in turbulent times, but there's considerable reason to believe the level of uncertainty now is greater than ever. Today people have to be ready for anything - they have to be resilient. And this book, by the leaders of the pioneering investment firm Natural Investing, proposes to increase our individual and collective resilience through a total rethinking of what personal investing means. Using their Resilient Investing Matrix you'll be able to see your assets in the widest possible terms, not only financial, but also personal (time, energy) and tangible (the things you own). Then the authors help you sort through a range of strategies for managing each of these assets, ideally to contribute to the best possible future, but also to be prepared for any possible future. This book will help you develop a plan for your life, not just your money. You'll be able to stay abreast of the changing world and participate in constructive ways, wherever it goes: to be part of the breakthroughs to a sustainable future, to prosper in a world that's muddling through, and to have foundations for sustenance and happiness if things start to fall apart.
