I’ve read a lot of books about investing and personal finance over the years, and to date my single favorite is William Bernstein’s The Four Pillars of Investing.
There’s a new edition, just released this week. It’s rare that I give an unqualified recommendation for a book. Usually it’s a recommendation to read the book if you’re in some very specific group.
Four Pillars is a book that I think everybody would benefit from reading. It will help you do a better job of managing your own portfolio. Or, if you prefer to outsource that job, it will help you make a more informed decision in that regard as well as help you to understand better what your portfolio manager is doing on your behalf (or, should be doing).
You can find the new edition here:
