Some of you may already have picked this up on social media, but I’m pleased to announce that , the book I’ve co-written with Ben Carlson, is now on sale in the UK. The Kindle version is available in other countries.
The book is published by Harriman House. It was primarily written for a UK audience and is aimed at people in their 20s and 30s.
It has no hidden sales agenda and, as you'd expect, is based on peer-reviewed academic evidence. It explains, in simple terms, how young investors can develop good habits, save a fortune in unnecessary fees and charges, and achieve financial freedom many years earlier than they otherwise would.
WHAT BEN SAYS
Here's what my co-author Ben Carlson says about the book:

SOME THANK YOUs
I’d like to thank the team at Harriman House for their hard work and professionalism, and, most of all, my co-author Ben Carlson. Ben is one of the brightest and most articulate financial writers around, and it’s been an honour to work with him. Thank you as well to my wife Jan and children Daisy and Oliver, who not only helped with proofreading, but also put up with me working long hours to get the book finished.

“The lack of financial education at school, combined with the British taboo on discussing monetary matters, can lead to an information vacuum. That space is ripe to be filled with the empty, baseless advice of shills, charlatans and ‘finfluencers’. Everyone beginning to explore their financial self could benefit from filling said void with the truths found in this simple guide instead.”
