Invest Like A Guru

Dr. Charlie Tian wrote an investing book titled "Invest Like A Guru" (Wiley, 2017, English version). The book was subsequently translated into Chinese and published by Peking University Press in 2018 as "Invest as a Master A Minimalist Value Investment Strategy." It has since been published in Japanese, Korean and Traditional Chinese as well.
