John Bogle puts our obsession with financial success in
perspective
Throughout his legendary career, John C. 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.
Inspired in large measure by the hundreds of lectures Bogle has
delivered to professional groups and college students in recent
years, Enough. seeks, paraphrasing Kurt Vonnegut, ‘to poison
our minds with a little humanity.’ Page by page, Bogle thoughtfully
considers what ‘enough’ actually means as it relates to money,
business, and life.
* Reveals Bogle’s unparalleled insights on money and what we
should consider as the true treasures in our lives
* Details the values we should emulate in our business and
professional callings
* Contains thought-provoking life lessons regarding our
individual roles in society
Written in a straightforward and accessible style, this unique
book examines what it truly means to have ‘enough’ in world
increasingly focused on status and score-keeping.
