The Biology of Business
The Complete Series
Eight books and 68 chapters that apply biological first principles to organizational growth. Each book is self-contained but builds on the others to create a comprehensive framework for understanding how organizations really work.
FoundationsNew
First principles of organizational life. Starting at the cellular level and building up to ecosystems, covering metabolism, homeostasis, growth mechanisms, symbiosis, selection, and ecosystem dynamics.
Resource DynamicsNew
How organisms acquire, allocate, and use resources. Energy, nutrients, attention, capital, talent - and why startups and elephants can't use the same resource strategy.
Competitive DynamicsNew
How organisms compete, cooperate, and navigate social hierarchies. From alpha leadership to coalition building and conflict resolution.
Growth StagesNew
The lifecycle of organizational development from germination through maturity. How plants grow, adapt, and regenerate - and what it means for companies.
Communication and SignalingNew
How organisms process information and coordinate action. Chemical signals, acoustic communication, and the mechanics of organizational information flow.
Adaptation and EvolutionNew
How organisms change over time. Mutation, drift, gene flow, and the mechanics of how organizations can deliberately evolve.
Scale and ComplexityNew
How size affects everything. Scaling laws, fractal geometry, network topology, emergence, and why large organizations work differently than small ones.
Regeneration and SustainabilityNew
Thinking about entire markets as living systems. Succession, nutrient cycling, keystone species, and how to build organizations that can renew themselves.
