In episode 33 of the Sloth Investor Podcast, I discuss the release of my personal finance book 'The Sloth Investor'.

Written with the goal of 'Simplifying Investing For All', the book provides an evidence-based framework for those looking to increase their wealth in a simple, yet powerful manner.

Underpinned by my 5 bedrock principles of investing (Simplicity, Low Fees, Own the World, Time, Headstrong) the book teaches the reader how to construct a simple, low-fee, globally diversified portfolio.

During the interview with my podcast partner Jay, I provide key takeaways from the book and explore the rationale for writing it.

Praise for ' The Sloth Investor':

* J L Collins - Author of 'The Simple Path to Wealth':

“In this book R P Stevens masterfully shows you how to increase your wealth in a simple, yet powerful manner.”

* Daniel Crosby - Author of ‘The Behavioral Investor’:

“For many, investing is both complex and intimidating. The Sloth Investor, through his 5 bedrock principles and naturally inactive demeanour, provides a clear, evidence based approach to investing. It’s the perfect antidote to the complicated jargon commonly used by the financial media.”

* William Green - Author of ‘Richer, Wiser, Happier’:

“I really like the idea of investing slowly, patiently and persistently, with low costs and an unshakeable focus on the long term.”

* Kristy Shen & Bryce Leung - Authors of ‘Quit Like a Millionaire’:

“Buy and hold, aka ‘investing like a sloth’ beats active investing for the majority of the time.”

* Robin Powell - The ‘Evidence Based Investor’ & the author of ‘Invest Your Way to Financial Freedom’:

“Investors have an in-built bias towards action, which the media only encourages and the industry loves to exploit. But R P Stevens is perfectly right: lethargy and sloth produce much better investor outcomes.”

* Jamie Catherwood - Financial Historian:

"If one lesson stands out from the annals of financial history, it is that investors get in their own way. These self-imposed hurdles often stem from over-complicating investment strategies and/or trading too much. For most investors, a simple investment approach is the best tactic. There is truth to the old adage that the best performing brokerage accounts belong to those that have died, and could no longer get in their own way. Of the 5 “Sloth investing” principles, I think the power of simplicity is particularly crucial."
