The 2016 book launch season is off to a strong start with the launch of The 3 Gaps last week, and the coming buzz for Out of the Question next week. This week, in the midst of snow storms here on the east coast, we’re all buzzing about The Resilient Investor.
Since 2012, I’ve had the privilege of being involved in some way – large or small – with each one of our book launches. It never ceases to amaze me how our authors can take a subject that appears to be worn out, and provide a new way of looking at it. Whether leadership or business, personal growth or economic sustainability, our variety of authors and their diversity of backgrounds never leaves us wanting for reading material that challenges our thinking – in the best way!
The Resilient Investor is just such a book, as are its authors…
Meet Hal Brill, Michael Kramer, and Christopher Peck
Hal Brill is the co-author of Investing With Your Values: Making Money and Making a Difference (Bloomberg, 1999; New Society 2000) and co-founder of Natural Investments. He lives in a sustainable neighborhood that he developed on the edge of Paonia, Colorado. He is on the board of Solar Energy International, which provides technical training in renewable energy, and is business manager of an organic hops farm.

About the Book
{From Amazon} 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.
