A Wealth of Common Sense: Why Simplicity Trumps Complexity in Any Investment Plan is a practical nonfiction book on personal investing by Ben Carlson, an investment professional and financial writer known for the blog of the same name. First published in 2015, the book addresses a persistent problem in wealth management: investors often assume that complex markets require complex portfolios. Carlson argues the opposite. Because markets are uncertain, noisy, and emotionally difficult, most individuals benefit from clear rules, broad diversification, low costs, and a long time horizon. The book blends investment history, behavioral finance, portfolio construction, and practical planning rather than presenting a formula for beating the market. Its purpose is to help readers build an investment philosophy they can understand and follow through different market environments. It is especially concerned with the gap between knowing sound principles and actually behaving well when fear, greed, financial media, and product complexity create pressure to act.
