by Richard Ferri
A plain, pragmatic guide to choosing and adjusting asset mixes for long-term investors. The text leans on concrete allocation examples, target mixes, and clear rebalancing rules across stocks, bonds, real estate, and other classes, with many tables and sample portfolios. Most useful are the step-by-step implementation cues and timing guidance for locking in gains. Its limitations are a conservative, prescriptive tone and repetition of examples that can feel redundant for readers who already know the basics or want deeper quantitative detail.

Consider The Undoing Project by Michael Lewis. Recommended by 15 sources.
“Michael Lewis chronicles the friendship and intellectual partnership of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, who championed the idea that cognitive biases shape our choices. The narrative reads like a buddy story, weaving their discoveries into personal anecdotes and the drama of their collaboration. You'll grasp key ideas—loss aversion, framing—through their story, but the book focuses on biography, not application. Helpful for understanding behavioral economics' origins; less useful if you want actionable advice. The emotional arc of their relationship can overshadow the science.”
