The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins is one of the best books I've ever read on the topic. It's on Audible. I agree with Kevin on a very small percentage of individual stocks if you feel the need to play the market, but only with money you are willing to lose. If you still feel you need an advisor find a fee only adviser who doesn't sell anything but his or her time.
You need to know where your money is going, Mint (free) is a great app for tracking every penny and your net worth.
Your investment strategy should depend on your goals, short term, retirement etc. Vanguard for me is best as they have the lowest fees and do not answer to shareholders of the company as there are none. Here is all the investment advice you will need and it fits on an index card. http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/01/08/462250239/when-an-index-card-of-financial-tips-isnt-enough-this-book-is-there
I have a pension so everything else sits in the Vanguard Total Stock Market Fund, if you're queasy about loosing too much in a short period then putting 25% of it into a Total Bond Market Fund will ease the lows and the highs with no great loss in return. And remember you don't lose anything if you don't sell.
