本書榮獲2023年金書獎《漫步華爾街》 X 《投資終極戰》作者財經界兩位頂尖思想家，攜手為普通人撰寫簡短精煉、直言不諱的理財智慧《漫步華爾街》 X 《投資終極戰》作者財經界兩位頂尖思想家，攜手為普通人撰寫簡短精煉、直言不諱的理財智慧艾利斯與墨基爾兩位投資界巨星與思想巨人，將合計超過112年的投資經驗，總結成這本雖精簡但直言不諱，幫助讀者穩健邁向財富自由道路的作品。自本書初版逾10年前問世以來，投資人經歷了一段艱難時期，與面對前所未有的市場波動情況，難怪許多投資人乾脆放棄股票市場。此外，一些媒體上的所謂財經專家，更經常宣稱「買進並持有」（buy and hold）與分散投資的策略已然失效。不過就可靠市場數據顯示，只看一年的績效，約70%的主動型基金表現，不如一檔簡單的指數基金；如果拉長看15年，則有90%的主動型基金的績效表現，不如指數基金。因此，兩位作者的忠告是：別聽那些「專家」的話，別理他們！◤從輸家的遊戲中勝出◢墨基爾和艾利斯明白，現今的市場狀況和隨之而來的建議往往相互矛盾，可能使投資大眾完全無所適從，這正是他們推出本書10周年紀念版的原因。此版本忠於初版，除了討論可助你我獲得財務自由的理財智慧，還納入支持其結論的新洞見和市場數據。兩位作者企圖以淺白又充滿睿智的文字，幫助讀者避免受「市場先生」影響而落入「輸家遊戲」的陷阱，並可盡情享受進入「贏家遊戲」所帶來的投資樂趣。只要遵循本書建議，你將可根據你的風險承擔意願和年紀，制定一個強大的投資致勝策略。◤成為贏家的KISS原則◢本書以6章闡述投資的KISS原則，包括著眼長期、無畏市場波動，以及如何利用退休金計畫增加儲蓄和盡可能節稅，都要保持簡單（Keep It Simple，Sweetheart）；書中也就分散投資、再平衡、定期定額法與指數化等議題加以說明。無論是第一次涉足市場的投資小白，還是擁有數十年股市經驗的資深股民，藉由閱讀本書，都可做出更好的投資決策，達成財務目標。讀者只需付出一些閱讀的時間，就能獲得最精闢的投資贏家心法。
