Beyer’s “Wealth Management Unwrapped, Revised and Expanded: Unwrap What You Need to Know and Enjoy the Present” will seemingly make you a smarter investor. Common sense and language that doesn’t alienate its laymen readers makes this work a successful piece of financial literature.

This book discusses the following points:
- The fundamental difference between an advisor and money manager

- How one can be a DIY investor; if it’s for you or not
