A leading thinker and visionary who single-handedly transformed the mutual fund business, his name is synonymous with excellence in mutual funds as Warren Buffett's is with excellence in stock investing.

"Mr. Bogle convinced me to follow his very rational strategy of index investing through this book. It's hard to understand why anyone would choose actively-managed funds for long-term investing after looking at the data. The prose is very clear and easy to understand without being too simple. "

    " Sadly, I think the audiobook was abridged, but I think that this really is 'common sense.' You might not hit the moon with Bogle's advice, but I feel fairly certain that you willl get a pretty average, solid return... and have a lot less to worry about. I should probably read this in hard copy! "
