Just Keep Buying
Nick Maggiulli's book is the most data-driven on this list. He tests conventional personal-finance advice — lump-sum vs. dollar-cost averaging, whether to pay off debt before investing, how much to spend in retirement — against historical evidence. Several standard answers turn out to be wrong or context-dependent, and Maggiulli is honest about the uncertainty.

The best books on career navigation
“Nick Maggiulli separates the financial decisions that matter in early career (savings rate dominates, investment decisions matter less) from those that matter later (portfolio behavior matters more). The title is both strategy and mindset: consistency through volatility compounds more than optimization during calm.”
