A good book for someone who doesn't have any investing knowledge and want to protect themselves from an 'invest and get rich' scams.

Got this book with expectation that it will be more on probabilities, which (despite the title) is not.
I do not read investment books. Most, if not all, usually involve a lot of technical language and terms that I do not understand.
