Asset Allocation resources?

A few years ago I read a book that discusses AA and gave example AAs for different timelines and risk tolerance. I’ve based my AA off that book. Now I can’t seem to remember the title. I want to revisit the “why” of my selected AA to see if I want to change it up. I find that I’m for more aggressive than online calculators suggest I be. So I don’t really want to use online calculators.
Books/website suggestions?

All About Asset Allocation by Ferri

The Intelligent Asset Allocator by Bernstein

And, my favorite resource, the Bogleheads Wiki.

Larry Swedroe is another author to check out. He came up with the phrase "ability, need and willingness to take on risk" or something like that. His books like "The only guide to the Right Financial Plan " discuss this threesome in detail and help one decide for themselves how the driving forces behind their decisions should be weighted.
