Invested: How Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger Taught Me to Master My Mind, My Emotions, and My Money (with a Little Help from by Phil Town, Danielle Town

4.0

I am an investing neophyte. Neither of my parents invested in publicly traded companies (as far as I know). Neither of them even had a 401(k) (as far as I know). Instead, they started their own companies and invested in real estate and land. So, I am a total investing neophyte. Reading this book, written by a woman who is also an investing neophyte but happens to have a father who is a value-investing expert, was extraordinarily helpful for me. I've been wanting to find a way to invest my money in a way that reflects my values. So - even though it's potentially more work than turning all of my money over to a roboinvestor or pumping up my 401(k) contributions, I will theoretically have much higher margins of return AND I will be investing in wonderful companies that reflect my values - particularly those of environmental and social sustainable practices. Everybody wins! Now, the book simplifies a lot and I will need to do much more research before I'm fully savvy, but it provides a good year-long plan to get up to a savvy level. And most importantly, it got me excited (instead of scared) about investing!
