The Nature of Investing

Resilient Investment Strategies through Biomimicry

De: Katherine Collins

Narrado por: Sean Pratt

We are all investors. We invest our time, our energy, our money. We invest every single day, as citizens, as consumers, as businesspeople. At its core, investing involves connection, exchange, and mutual benefit. Lately, however, the primary, beneficial function of investing has been overshadowed by ever-more mechanized iterations of finance. We have created funds of funds, securitizations of securitizations, and entire firms whose business is based on harvesting the advantage of microseconds of trading speed.

The Nature of Investing calls for a transformation of the investment process from the roots up. Drawing on the author's twenty-plus years of leadership experience in top investment firms, the book connects real-world finance with the field of biomimicry. Citing real-life examples and discussing principles from the natural world, The Nature of Investing shows how we can create an investment framework that is different from the mechanized one currently employed. Listeners will discover an approach that re-aligns investing with the world it was originally meant to serve. An approach that values resiliency over rigidity and elegant simplicity over synthetic complexity. This is the true nature of investing.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Nature is our ultimate teacher and a powerful source of wisdom and resilience. This book can help everyone bring that bounty to our financial lives." (Andrew Zolli, author, Resilience: Why Things Bounce Back)

Great!

Really enjoyed the frameworks and thoughtfulness.
Great content! Highly recommend to others and enjoyed it!

Interesting

Interesting take on biomimicry and investing, as the author always asks “What Would Nature Do?” given a specific investment decision. She also says technological advancements have chipped away at our connection to the world, and that we should embrace Nature’s wisdom. All good thoughts, but the presentation was a bit dry.

Fiercely important paradigm shift

A fiercely important shift in paradigm, that human needs to and will eventually turn to. The way we invest, what the true essence of it is, is beautifully deconstructed by Katherine Collins and the narrator in this audio book. An elegant, abstract use of the practice of Biomimicry ... a practice that will bring our species back home.
