From the author Elizabeth MacBride on her new guide to investing: 

"More than 8 million Americans now use robo investing platforms to invest with ease, minimize their risk and achieve superior returns. These platforms didn’t exist 15 years ago. The Little Book of Robo Investing: How To Make Money While You Sleep, due to be released March 12, is already named by investment giants as an essential guide to the new world of investing. The latest in the acclaimed Little Book series from Wiley."  

From the publisher, Wiley:

"Elizabeth MacBride is an award-winning journalist, author and expert in finance, investing and technology. She is the author most recently of *Little Book of Robo Investing: How To Make Money While You Sleep*, the latest in the acclaimed Wiley series (publication: March 2024). One of the founding team members of Wealthfront, the first online financial advisor, Elizabeth crafted the language to launch the robo investment movement. She is an advocate for a fair, accessible financial system and policies that support women's economic power."
