Make the most of your assets, financial and otherwise: "Brings to investment what the periodic table brought to chemistry--clarity, order, and understanding." --Michael H. Shuman, author of Put Your Money Where Your Life Is

If you want to build a better life and a better world--and really be prepared for any possible future in these turbulent times--you need to become a resilient investor. This trailblazing guide will expand your ideas of investing way beyond Wall Street. Your time, your energy, and the things you own are investments too, and you'll learn to diversify them in ways that move you toward your life goals.

The Resilient Investment Map lays out all your assets--personal and physical as well as financial--and then provides three essential, timely strategies (Close to Home, Sustainable Global Economy, and Evolutionary Investing) that will help you grow each of them. The goal is to become more resilient: able to anticipate disturbance, rebuild as necessary, and improve when possible. You'll discover that the choices making you more resilient also enhance our communities, our economy, and the planet--building real wealth for all.
