That's why bestselling author William Bernstein—a grassroots hero to independent investors—has written The Investor's Manifesto.
Approaching the problems of investing and saving from the perspective of someone who has had to figure it out for himself, Bernstein knows firsthand how difficult these endeavors can be—especially for those with little professional experience in this arena.

Written in a straightforward and accessible style, The Investor's Manifesto:
Explores the theoretical basis of investing and designing portfolios, drawn in large part from financial history
Offers insights on dealing with the emotions and attitudes that routinely cripple investors
Discusses how to deal with the investment industry when executing strategies designed for anything from saving for retirement to putting a child through college
Addresses ways in which individual investors can construct diversified portfolios that can blunt potentially damaging market forces
Covers the concept of Pascal's Wager—which will enable you to identify and avoid worst-case investing scenarios
If there were ever a time to take control of your financial future, it is now. Potentially generous returns are available to the brave, the disciplined, and the liquid. If you follow the advice found here and keep your head while others lose theirs, then you will have a fighting chance of avoiding the financial pitfalls in front of you and profiting over the long-term.
