A touch too conservative for me (or maybe I just have a much higher risk appetite than the author does), but I can't deny that this is a good explainer and introduction for the subject. This is the book I'd recommend to people who want to safely dip their toe into investing outside of a 401k, but are afraid of getting overwhelmed with individual stock picking.
More specifically I thought it was interesting how the author strongly advocates for a combination of large cap growth, large cap value, small cap growth, and small cap value ETFs, but doesn't address large or small cap blend funds, and just kind of hand-waves off midcaps altogether. Also surprised me seeing international/ex-US funds getting recommended so highly, but maybe that's just my recency bias bleeding through. Still, all kinds of options are presented and explained, and I particularly appreciated the breakdowns on REITs and commodity funds. It's a shame this came out in 2021 before the SEC approved spot crypto ETFs; I'm curious (but can guess) what the author would think about the likes of $IBIT or $FBTC.
