enough
What is enough? Enough is a very personal metric. Like our center of gravity, each of us must find what is enough by swaying from less to more until a comfortable medium is found. The goal, then, is not to find what is, or will be, enough forever. That is impossible. The goal is to discover the tools and strategies you need to find what is enough for you right now and prov...more

Yes, because what the world needs now is more pontifications from middle class white guys who own Macs. Patrick Rhone has suggestions to help you become a better, preppier, middle-classier Mac owner: stop dicking around on the Internet so much, read a book now and then, learn to really appreciate those interpersonal moments, have some Deep Thoughts and don't get distracted by books like this. Kidding; that last one is mine. Pay me.

All we really need is enough. My enough will be very different from yours. Patrick Rhone has written a book that allows us to reflect on what our own version of “enough” is — and it can do that for us whenever we need to be reminded of that, or when our “enough” has changed. This book is a must-read and a must-have on your bookshelf so that you can return to it whenever you feel the need. Even one essay will bring a sense of order to the chaos because each essay compels the reader to look inward...more
Ok, full disclosure in case you didn't already know — Patrick Rhone, as well as being an awesome author, is my husband. And I have lived constantly with the creation of this book for well over a year.
That said, the fact that I still love this book (and I am picky) is a testament. Every essay in this book (no matter how much I discussed them when they were being written) makes me think, and think some more, and go back to thinking. This is the kind of book that depends upon the reader to DO somet...more

Patrick Rhone is a brilliant man who's writings and ramblings offer deep insight into us as individuals and the human race on a whole. In this book he writes about the concept of "Enough" which is in essence the concept of balance and moderation, leading us to consider our base needs and what is really required of us to be successful in life. Furthermore, and perhaps more importantly, he writes about our never ending search to find Enough; an ever-changing metric that we must continually find fo...more
I wanted to give this book more than three stars, as I liked many of the ideas from Rhone and I knew his writing from his blogs... But having just finished reading "Free Will" by Sam Harris, I can't help but compare the books with each other. And this comparison shows clearly that while Harris is a fabulous writer, Rhone is not quite there yet.
This is a good book with good ideas. Not great, but good.

I'm a very avid follower of the blog of Patrick Rhone so I had pretty high expectations for this book.
But I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would, primarily because I always felt like I wanted more elaboration of each chapter which to me we're an awkward length between an extended blog post and an essay.
Still a solid read though.

Love it. A book that actually made me think about my life and my choices that wasn't some kind of flaky self-help book. Very nice.
Vond dit een leuk boek om te lezen, ook al is het eigenlijk een verzameling van "blogposts" over minimalisme enz. Leest vlot.
A collection of short, but thought-provoking essays. I didn't always agree with the author, but his arguments are well-written and enjoyable to read. Some of the essays are informational, others instructional, others more meditative.
I own a print copy of the book and its one of the few that stays on my nightstand if I need a little something to ruminate on before going to sleep (especially some of the essays that focus on gratitude and reflection).
