Field Guide to Resilient Investing

The heart of the Resilient Investing approach is an expansion of your view of what investing is. Rather than solely focusing on your financial investments within the global economy, we’ve broadened the horizons to include non-financial assets, as well as investing strategies that acknowledge engagement in your community and actions that foster positive systemic change. This dual expansion leads to nine zones of the Resilient Investing Map (RIM), shown below. (See Learn More About the RIM for a brief introduction to the rows and columns; our book includes a step-by-step process of assessment and planning to help you find your own way of working with RIM).  To dive in and start exploring the wealth of opportunities and options available in each zone of this dynamic new life planning framework, simply click on “Learn More” in any of the nine boxes.
