Enough
Non-member price: $27.36
Publisher's Summary
The excesses are most starkly visible in the continuing crisis in banking and investment, and even in the two enormous government-sponsored (but publicly owned) mortgage lenders, to say nothing of the billion-dollar-plus annual paychecks that top hedge-fund managers draw down and the excessive compensation paid to CEOs, regardless of performance.
Throughout his legendary career, John Bogle, founder of the Vanguard mutual fund group and creator of the first index mutual fund, has helped investors build wealth the right way and led a tireless campaign to restore common sense to the investment world. Along the way, he's seen how destructive an obsession with financial success can be.
Now, with Enough, he puts this dilemma in perspective. Bogle offers his unparalleled insights on money, on the values we should emulate in our business and professional callings, and on what we should consider as the true treasures in our lives. By explaining what "enough" truly is, he demonstrates how close everyone can be to having it.

Putting principles back into business
A very needed, hopeful, and life giving presentation on healthy uses of finance and principle based business. Going business in a way that sees people as people with a focus around financial businesses but stretching across other industries as well, the content was sound and so important for a world seemingly too intent on pursuing wealth at any cost. The alternative view John presents, the original view essentially, of returning to traditional values that puts the person first in any business activity was great to read. John's ability then to tie it in with one's personal life choices set a great model for the choice we have to live a fulfilling life, a joyful life, a giving life, where we have enough.
The only improvement I would offer was that a lot of the financial information at the start, the statistics and data around financial systems seemed like it could have been shortened whilst still communicating the point.

Looking for Low Cost Mutual Funds
Interesting book with some strong messages in terms of what is important in life. Enough is a word not often used anymore. Time to bring it back.

Repetitious
Repetitive. I like bogle and what he stands for. Listening to this book is like listening to a repetitive sermon. You keep saying the same thing over and over and over again. Low-cost mutual funds are the way to go. The financial sector does not have your best interest at heart. Be satisfied with enough. Find meaning in things other than wealth accumulation. Could have summed up the entire book in one chapter.

Great book
Excellent book. Strongly suggest it. Narrator was not great though unfortunately. The narrator for the little book of investing was much better.

Makes you think what meaning is all about
Great recount of a very succesful and influential man that makes you rethink all the current belief of what is success and where we as a society have lost the purpose.
Great book !!

Outstanding!
I was pleasantly surprised how much I ended up liking this book. Not a finance guy by trade but this book is about much more than the financial system. Give it a try, you will be glad you did.

John Bogle's Bio and Frustrations
I listened to the entire book. Sounded like a sale's pitch for Vanguard and a biography of all of John Bogle's accomplishments. I seriously think his intention was to leave a sort of memoir. The biggest take away, just like all of his books: Buy Vanguard's index funds because all others are taking too much from you through unnecessary higher fees, even though their funds rarely beat the market.
