A Clarion Call to Shape a More Perfect World, Over Your Lifetime
Knowing Enough: A Conversation about Money and Life-and Figuring Out What to Do with Yours delivers a compelling critique of the desolate state of the modern financial system and business as usual. For years, personal gain has been placed above the good for all, and the world is in a worse state because of it. It's time to thrive by starting with ourselves-young and old (and young at heart!)-and taking thoughtful actions.
Bogle and Bernstein encourage you to choose. Do you accept the challenge of Bogle-to adopt a few eighteenth-century values over our twenty-first century ones, as he did? And do you accept the challenge of Bernstein to be just a little better with your money? Yes, it's possible. He tells you how. But will you, when your financial life gets hard?
Knowing Enough will set you on a new course to lead your truest life-to challenge yourself and society, without losing faith in either. Tomorrow can be better than today, if you stand for something brighter and work to make it so. As Bogle and Bernstein remind us, never confuse your net worth with your self-worth. Instead, knowing enough will help you discover a life of noble purpose.
