Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

Men have been conditioned to be the quintessential "nice guy". They're trained to be overly humble, kind to a fault, and that just "being themselves" is enough to attract and keep the woman of their dreams. Men are told to believe that conventional masculinity is toxic and to put women ahead of their own interests, passions, and purpose. This book exposes the comforting lies you've been told throughout your life for what they really are, enabling you to become a truly authentic alpha who chases excellence and leads a successful passion-filled life.

Publisher's Summary
In his classic book The Elements of Style, Professor William Strunk Jr. whittled down the art of powerful writing to a few basic rules. Forty years later, E.B. White initiated a revision, and thus iThe Elements of Style became known as Strunk & White. Following this same format, authors Charles Ellis and Burton Malkiel, two of the investment world's greatest thinkers, have combined their talents to produce The Elements of Investing - a short, straight-talking audio book about investing and saving that will put you on a path towards a lifetime of financial success.
The Elements of Investing lays to rest the popular shibboleths that undergird the hyperactive trading of the average investor. In it, Malkiel and Ellis skillfully focus their message to address the essentials and offer a set of simple, but powerful thoughts on how to avoid Mr. Market and his "loser's game," and instead enjoy the "winner's game" approach to investing.
All the investment rules and principles you need to know are here - with clear advice on how to follow them. In just a few hours of listening time, you will learn all you need to know to be truly successful in investing. Divided into five essential elements of investing this little audio book packs a big message that can help secure your financial future all the way through retirement.
A disciplined approach to investing, complemented by understanding is all you need to enjoy success. This practical guide explains what you really need to know and puts you on the right course for long-term success through all kinds of markets.

required reading if you plan to retire one day
Didn't think you could distill just about everything you need to know, along with what you must ignore about investing, in one thin book, but they did it.
Folks should read it, and then read it again. Just to ensure that the key points stick.

An okay book
I think this book was good. but it really should be marketed for teenagers. These I think are things that most adults already know. I can give you a brief summary and save you 13$ or an audible credit:
-Invest early in life
-When you're younger invest mostly in stocks, then as you get older, progressively invest in bonds.
-Diversify your portfolio,
-Invest in index funds
-The more you pay for a stock broker, the less return you will get
-Financial directors are usually bad at predicting the market
-Don't try to predict the market or trust anyone who says they can, because it's virtually impossible to do.
-Invest conservatively (don't act on impulse)
-Don't let your emotions make your decisions for you.
I think that's about it. If you are a teenager you definitely wanna check this out. But anyone over 25 will be OK by just reading my short summary, assuming they don't already know all this stuff.

Another self-help book
Would you try another book from Burton G Malkiel and Charles D Ellis and/or Erik Synnestvedt?
no
Would you recommend The Elements of Investing to your friends? Why or why not?
I don't recommend this book. It was a disappointing, redundant, cookie-cutter-advice investment advice book that at times seemed more geared toward manipulating the reader than informing me. I expected much better from Malkiel.
What aspect of Erik Synnestvedt’s performance would you have changed?
The 2-3 hour book can be reduced to a 2-3 minute list.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
LOL
Any additional comments?
If you do listen to the book, listen critically. Don't believe everything you hear.
