The Good Investor: How Your Work Can Confront Injustice, Love Your Neighbor, and Bring Healing to the World - Hardcover

by Robin John (Author), Ron Blue (Foreword by)

From entrepreneur and head of a multibillion-dollar investment firm, Robin John, comes a transformative journey to heal the world's brokenness through the power of investing in what bestselling author John C. Maxwell calls a "compelling vision and a practical application for all professionals to embrace the good."

Disrupt the conventional view that investing is simply about returns. Robin John, cofounder and CEO of Eventide Asset Management, offers an inspiring alternative: investing as a path to joy, a tool to create value, and a means to heal the world's brokenness.

Drawing from his personal journey--from a small village in India to leading a multibillion-dollar U.S. investment firm--Robin reveals the transformative potential of aligning your financial decisions with your faith and values. Hollywood may glamorize greed and exploitation in films like The Wolf of Wall Street, but Robin envisions investing as an act of love for our neighbors and an engine for blessing.
