The life portfolio
How to invest in what can not be bought back
What are you really investing your life in?
This is not a book about how to pick stocks, build a portfolio, or beat the market. It is a book about something more fundamental: how to think about wealth before deciding what wealth is for.

About
About the Book
The Life Portfolio: How to Invest in What Cannot Be Bought Back by Dan Fratu is a short philosophical book about wealth—but not in the way we usually define it.
We spend enormous energy managing financial portfolios, measuring returns, reducing risk, and trying to grow capital. But what if money is only one part of our real portfolio?
Drawing on ideas from Viktor Frankl, Stoicism, Buddhism, modern investors, and timeless moral stories, The Life Portfolio explores a simple but powerful question: What are you really investing your life in?
This is not a book about how to pick stocks, build a portfolio, or beat the market. It is a book about something more fundamental: how to think about wealth before deciding what wealth is for.
