Self-Help

We live in a world oriented toward greatness, one in which we feel compelled to be among the wealthiest, most powerful, and most famous. Avram Alpert explains why no one truly benefits from this competitive social order and reveals how another way of life is possible-a good-enough life for all. Alpert shows how our obsession with greatness results in stress, and anxiety, damage to our relationships, widespread political and economic inequality, and destruction of the natural world. He explains why we must stop dividing the world into winners and losers and ensure that there is a fair share of decency and sufficiency to go around. Visionary and provocative, The Good-Enough Life reveals how we can work together to move beyond greatness and create a society in which everyone flourishes.
