    "Investing Demystified" by Lars Kroijer
    Yes, this is also a good book. He has also done some videos based on the book which are worth a look - free via his website

    We have a climate emergency and need to re-think investing strategies to avoid sectors that are part of the problem such as oil & gas and embrace climate-friendly options such as renewable energy.

    One of the things I wish I'd focused on in Early Retirement was finding something as fulfilling as work once I was out the workplace. I just assumed I'd have loads to fill my time with once I had the time to focus on them. But it didn't work that way for me, and I ended up going back to work when I discovered how much I missed it!
    One of the pieces of advice I wish I'd taken to heart more was to develop hobbies and pastimes while you're in work, because it's these that you'll continue with once retired. It looks like you'll be fine financially (mostly because you're starting to think and plan it) so make sure you plan all the leisure time too. One resource I'd point you to is the Mad Fientist podcasts - there's a good spectrum of advice contained there, for when you get tired of reading.
