'Build Your Life Capital Through Engaged Conversation.'
Your most important and most frequent investment decisions are not about money but about time and energy, conversations and relationships, mental and physical health, learning... These build your Life Capital – an essential driver of your future opportunities and satisfaction. It comprises your human capital (who and what you are), your social capital (who and what you’re surrounded by) and your financial capital (what you own). Investing in Life empowers you to enjoy success and satisfaction on your terms - through engaged conversation and by applying lessons from the great long-term investors to build your Life Capital.
People development is an investment process. There is a powerful analogy which can be drawn between the highly measurable world of financial investment and the relatively unquantifiable world of people development. Investing in Life brings this analogy to the fore, enabling you to view your development through the prism of an investor. The unifying concept of the book is that you can better identify the big opportunities for investment in yourself or others by drawing on the lessons which the great investors apply in spotting financial investment opportunities. Author Ian Pollard’s aim is to encourage and empower you to find bigger opportunities and to see how big they are or how much bigger you can make them, so you will invest more aggressively in the best ones and make your life and others’ lives more pleasant, satisfying and rewarding.
