Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider The Little Book of Common Sense Investing by John C. Bogle. Recommended by 8 sources.
“The Little Book of Common Sense Investing makes a plainspoken, cost-centered case for using broadly diversified index funds as the backbone of a long-term portfolio. Early chapters set out the arithmetic of fees and market returns in simple terms, the middle reiterates those points with examples, and the close argues for patience and buy-and-hold discipline. Useful as a concise justification for a passive stance; limiting if you want detailed portfolio construction, tactical advice, or an extensive debate with proponents of active management.”
