ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Little Book of Common Sense Investing” by John Bogle provides a straightforward guide to investing with a focus on simplicity and long-term growth. Bogle argues that most investors are better off using low-cost index funds, which track the overall market, rather than trying to beat the market through active management. The book critiques the financial industry's emphasis on high-risk, short-term strategies and highlights the importance of minimizing costs and avoiding speculation. Through clear examples and data, Bogle encourages a disciplined, patient approach to investing that prioritizes broad market exposure over trying to pick individual winners.
