"This is an amazing and deeply inspiring book. Alpert employs a prose style that is wrought like fine gold jewelry. There is scarcely a page from which this reader does not wish to quote and share Alpert's wisdom with others."
From the Publisher
"This book found me at just the right time. . . . [The Good-Enough Life] offers a bit of an antidote or a countercultural approach to designing communities and systems. . . [It’s a] philosophical, semi-political, pro-social, contemplative approach to designing a new way forward."-Alyson Stoner, New York Magazine
"[Alpert’s] vision of a good-enough world is energizing."-Lily Meyer, The Atlantic
"The Good-Enough Life leaves no meritocracy standing. . . . [A] jolt of reorientation."-Emily Ogden, Los Angeles Review of Books
"
[W]e should bestow social recognition . . . .on common moral qualities, not on uncommon talent. It should be good enough just to be good enough . . . . [This is] Alpert’s case, and he makes it well.
"-Andrew Stark, Times Literary Supplement
"Read this book, breathe a sigh of relief, and then go take a nap."-Rana Foroohar, Financial Times
