Why read it?
2 authors picked The Simple Path to Wealth as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Simple Path to Wealth is hard to beat as an introduction to investing.
This book has a singular message; invest in a U.S. stock market index fund and call it a day. Every page in the book, brings the reader back to that conclusion. While I have small quibbles with some issues (such as international diversification being glossed over,) if you find investing confusing or overwhelming this book is a fantastic place to start as it simplifies investing.
From Ben's list on helping you invest your money and grow your wealth.
This book is short, sweet, and to the point – and frankly, a delight to read. It provides straight talk about investing and doesn’t overcomplicate things. I like its homespun flavor and its emphasis on just how simple it can be to become financially independent and retire early. Oh, and it includes a forward by Mr. Money Mustache himself, one of the gurus of the FIRE movement.
From Robert's list on early retirement and financial independence.
