Ive read Intelligent Investor twice - and there is a chapter midway through the annotated version which basically says that if you arent willing to put in the time finding value shares then stick with passive investing in low cost funds.

I also read Buffetts share letter and he frequently touts how well passive investing would do, even with respect to Berkshire Hathaway

Im purely passive now based mostly on bogleheads

Would you please mind giving some examples of low-cost ETFs?

I use the Vanguard Lifestrategy funds so i dont even have to rebalance at the end of the year. These funds let you contribute - 80%share/20%bonds, 60%share/40%bonds, ... based on your age or risk profile. They also include a global component to your portfolio
