There's an easier way, as this wonderful and easy to read book clearly demonstrates."

It's a must read for individual investors who want to take control of their financial destiny."
--Lori Ioannou, contributor, The Wall Street Journal, former senior editor of CNBC.com and former executive editor at Time Inc.

"Robo advisors drastically simplified today's complex investing world.

"I encourage everyone to look at the wisdom and enduring lessons of this remarkably well-sourced historical and rational work. The Little Book is the perfect bedside guidebook for those who want to hear the secrets of investing from those with access to the best advice on offer. A wonderful read. Thank you Elizabeth and Qian for all you do to elevate investing as an important life skill and for making it accessible to everyone regardless of financial means, status or background."

"Before the advent of robo advisors, only the wealthy could afford sophisticated financial advice provided by traditional human financial advisors. Similar to many other traditional industries disrupted by technology, robo advisors automated sophisticated financial advice, made it accessible to regular investors at a low cost and leveled the playing field. The authors skillfully explained the movement of robo advisors and how American individuals and families without a ton of knowledge in finance and investing can easily use robo advisors to build financial security over time."
--Nick Shalek, General Partner of Rabbit Capital
