One of the oldest (I think) books that I have come across to that I cannot really forget.
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying by Shepherd Mead
I just find it so interesting. Light yet with much sense. Ain't that what most would really want? To succeed with less effort and all? Had to be real though, it's not as simple as that. But then, who knows.
Also, when it was made into a movie. That was great. Even young business person can relate. And it seems a revival will be out on Broadway soon too.

I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the direction of some different reading material.
I've read a good handful of boglehead approved books listed on this thread and have gotten to the point with these authors that it feels like I'm reading the same thing over and over. I would like to find boglehead books that are less soapbox-ish. I've read about EMT and MPT and it makes sense to me. I'm 100% passively invested in Vanguard index funds. The authors are spending too much time discussing why not to invest in active management styles. I've had my "boglehead kool-aid". I'm tired of reading about the "losers' game". I'm already convinced!
I know the boglehead strategy isn't overly complicated, but there are still plenty of things that I need to learn. Specific topics that come to mind that I want to research are managing taxable and tax advantaged accounts as one retirement portfolio, tax loss harvesting (when to do it, how much to harvest, etc.), and bond topics (why do some boglehead portfolios recommend long term and some recommend short term?).
There is plenty of information that I can learn to become a better educated boglehead, but the books I've been reading are not getting me there. Any ideas or recommendations? Thanks very much in advance.

Yes, Michael's a great writer. Taylor and I enjoyed working with him on our first book, The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing. The end product was so much better because of Michael's involvement and contributions.cvito wrote:I read this many moons ago -- and I'm telling you, this is really an inspiring book.Howard Donnelly wrote:The Millionaire in You, by Michael LeBoeuf.

Great Quotes from "The Millionaire in You."
"Simplicity is the master key to financial success." -- Jack Bogle
Re: Books
I really enjoyed "The Little Book of Common Sense Investing." And after reading "The Battle for the Soul of Capitalism" and "Enough" I have determined that they will be required reading for my adult children and soon after my grandchildren. Currently I am reading "Don't Count On It" and next up will be, yes "The Bogleheads Guide to Retirement Planning". I suspect that they too will end up on the family's required reading menu.
