Baranowski places his debut guide to money and investing on bedrock factors that are psychological rather than financial: the human desire to grow and innovate and the human weaknesses of insecurity and greed.
A clearheaded and invaluable walk-through of how to handle money and make it work for an investor.
The book offers a clear, easy to follow account of the merits of investing in general and the principles of value investing.
Along the way it echoes the kind of lifestyle advice we have heard from the likes of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger
What I loved about the book is that Baranowski is truly passionate about helping readers develop a successful investment style.

"A must-read for investing newbies"
This book is a refreshing change from the many overly complex investing books. I wish I had this book when I first started studying finance! Now that I work in finance, I want to dole this book out to anyone who asks for investing tips! It has an easy-to-understand approach that focuses on the most important factors of investing. This is a must-read for finance students and anyone looking to start or improve their investing.
Wonderful book
This new book by Bogumil is a wonderful book to read, especially for people new to value investing. The author works at a tier one value investing fund in NYC. One of the great benefits of the book is the references to all the other excellent books that the author has read over time and references. This is a great book to teach young people how to save money (financial literacy) as well as more high level on value investing. It is pretty similar to Guy Spier book since it has much more to do with philosophy of value investing and living wisely. I personally will recommend this book to all my mentees in college about to start their careers in buy-side and sell-side alike.
No hype....best investing book I have ever read. The more investing books you have read makes the simplicity of this one great.
I have lost count of the investing books that I have read. Of all the books that I have read on investing this one is the best. The author has done his homework in the area of value investing. He does not have some magic formula or a complicated set of guidelines that would take a masters in finance to figure out. What he does have is clear and simple common sense instructions on how to invest for the long haul and keep your emotions in check. He has followed the best in the business and gives credit where it is due.
For me this was the book that switched on the light bulb and gave me the "aha moment". I suddenly knew where to put my money and leave it alone. Wish he had written this 25 years ago; it would have save me a lot of stress, misdirection and costly mistakes.
