### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A useful introduction to thinking about the problem of investing and economics using Nature's elegant methods.
*by N***Y on April 30, 2014*

With The Nature of Investing, Katherine Collins has delivered a useful and welcome introduction to thinking about the problem of investing and economics in terms of Nature’s elegant methods.Using basic principles and guides Collins compares and contrast where things go wrong and what to look for when they are right. Her approach frames companies, products and solutions as trade offs between six pairs of solution metrics: The efficient vs. effective, the synthetic vs. simple, maximized vs. optimized, disconnected vs. reconnected, mechanical vs. mindful and finally the static vs. the dynamic. By looking at economic and investment problems from these mechanistic versus natural solution types; Collins offers simple but profound ways of probing the sustainability and resilience of companies and economies likely outcomes.She questions GDP growth as an absolute good, correctly identifying faults in GDP which includes growth in prisons, guns and arms but doesn’t measure important qualities, such as the strength of our family ties, well being and our relationships with each other and our future legacy.Her nature based approach using basic questions allows her to explore worthy critiques of pointless trading, math models gone wild in finance, and other examples of complex economic activity adding broad economic risk with narrowly distributed minimal returns. Finance specialists innovatively chasing their own tails on such scale rarely end well.A critique of this book is its length. More could have been shared leaving the reader wishing for an even deeper investigation into such an interesting theme and Collins perspective on it. This reader looks forward to following Collin’s work for some time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read it. You will be a better person and investor.
*by T***N on May 10, 2014*

A very thoughtful perspective that will help me think and act more intentionally when investing. The key points being that we need to understand our original reason for investing and the implications of our investment actions.Ms. Collins takes what is often viewed as an individual action (investing) and makes it clear that it is really a systematic action that has broad ramifications. She also describes many if the flaws in our current investment system in an easily understood manner. Well worth the read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If Warren Buffett & Mother Nature had a love child... this book would be it!
*by M***R on April 8, 2014*

Whoa, not the investment book I was expecting. This is a must read, game changer. Here's how I'd sum it up:Tired of flat screen, algorithm-driven, mechanized financial markets that feel increasingly disconnected from daily life?Wouldn't it be nice if instead the world of finance were: effective, resilient, elegantly simple & naturally optimized?By connecting real-world finance with a deeply rooted, scientifically valid framework (biomimicry) Katherine Collins shows us how investing can be returned to its core purpose of mutual exchange and mutual purpose.If this sounds mind-blowing, it is. Collins' underlying point is that its time for us to refocus investing on its essential, connected form - relational not transactional, regenerative not extractive, optimized, not maximized, resilient not rigid.As Collins notes - we are all investors. Whether wearing our hats at citizens, consumers, and/or business people... with each decision about how we spend our time, energy, and money, we are investing.Alas, our current global financial system is in need of a serious course correct. By asking "WWND" (What Would Nature Do?) Collins presents a compelling, innovative, and highly actionable vision of a new investment path, one which emulates nature's genius. Highly recommend this delightfully readable book.
