About this listen
Over the course of his 60-year career in the mutual fund industry, Vanguard Group founder John C. Bogle has witnessed a massive shift in the culture of the financial sector. The prudent, value-adding culture of long-term investment has been crowded out by an aggressive, value-destroying culture of short-term speculation. Mr. Bogle has not been merely an eyewitness to these changes, but one of the financial sector's most active participants. In The Clash of the Cultures, he urges a return to the common-sense principles of long-term investing.
Provocative and refreshingly candid, this audiobook discusses Mr. Bogle's views on the changing culture in the mutual fund industry, how speculation has invaded our national retirement system, the failure of our institutional money managers to effectively participate in corporate governance, and the need for a federal standard of fiduciary duty.
Mr. Bogle recounts the history of the index mutual fund, how he created it, and how exchange-traded index funds have altered its original concept of long-term investing. He also presents a first-hand history of Wellington Fund, a real-world case study on the success of investment and the failure of speculation. The book concludes with ten simple rules that will help investors meet their financial goals.

In The Outsiders, you'll learn the traits and methods striking for their consistency and relentless rationality that helped these unique leaders achieve such exceptional performance. Humble, unassuming, and often frugal, these "outsiders" shunned Wall Street and the press, and shied away from the hottest new management trends. Instead, they shared specific traits that put them and the companies they led on winning trajectories: a laser-sharp focus on per share value as opposed to earnings or sales growth; an exceptional talent for allocating capital and human resources; and the belief that cash flow, not reported earnings, determines a company's long-term value.

Story
What exactly is a Money Mind? At one level, it's a way of thinking about major financial issues such as capital allocation. At another level, it summarizes an overall mindset for successfully investing in today's fast-paced stock market, a mindset that depends on a commitment to learning, adapting, and facing down irrelevant noise. This is not a method book. It is a thinking book. Warren Buffett: Inside the Ultimate Money Mind explains the philosophies of self-reliance, stoicism, rationalism, and pragmatism and their contributions to making intelligent investment decisions.

In The Little Book of Big Profits from Small Stocks, small stock expert Hilary Kramer looks for stocks with fifty to two hundred percent upside potential!

When Carol Loomis first mentioned a little-known Omaha hedge-fund manager in a 1966 Fortune article, she didn’t dream that Warren Buffett would one day be considered the world’s greatest investor - nor that she and Buffett would become close personal friends. Now Loomis has collected and updated the best Buffett articles Fortune published between 1966 and 2012, including thirteen cover stories and a dozen pieces authored by Buffett himself. Loomis has provided commentary about each major article that supplies context and her own informed point of view.

Story
With high stock and bond prices and the rising cost of housing, the post-subprime boom may well turn out to be another illustration of Shiller's influential argument that psychologically driven volatility is an inherent characteristic of all asset markets. In other words, Irrational Exuberance is as relevant as ever. Previous editions covered the stock and housing markets - and famously predicted their crashes. This edition expands its coverage to include the bond market, so that the book now addresses all of the major investment markets.

Excellent but dry
As another reviewer said, it's a dry listen/read. However, this book is excellent. The past few years I have been reading books by the legends - Philip Fisher (Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits), Benjamin Graham (Intelligent Investor). "The Clash of the Cultures' is one of those eye-opening books where you realize if you are to invest that you had better educate yourself so that you can make money by truly investing long-term. It is unfortunate that many would-be investor 'education' is watching short-term "buy buy buy! sell sell sell!" mentality stuff (think Mad Money). This book, although it was a slog will help shape an investor so that he/she can cut through the noise and make money.

Dry as all Hell
Mr. Bogle is one of my heroes, and I love indexing, but he is one of the most boring writers out there, it's fact after fact after fact. Barely an anecdote or the imaginative illustration of a concept to lighten the SLOG of his books. Every time I finish one I swear never to read another one but his is such a contribution I unfortunately can't help myself. Good info but a boring grind, it's possible to write non-fiction without being this dry.

Others are better
As a business associates attorney, his proposals and talking points are near nonsense. He repeats phrases such as "fiduciary duties" and "power to the stockholder" ad nauseum but the application is lacking and obacure. Im not sure if he wanted to build a political career off his book, but its fluff and nonsense.
