This book 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvram 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 describes how to move beyond greatness to create a society in which everyone flourishes. By competing less with each other, each of us can find renewed meaning and purpose, have our material and emotional needs met, and begin to lead more leisurely lives. Alpert makes no false utopian promises, however. Life can never be more than good enough because there will always be accidents and tragedies beyond our control, which is 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVisionary and provocative, \u003cem\u003eThe Good-Enough Life\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates how we can work together to cultivate a good-enough life for all instead of tearing ourselves apart in a race to the top of the social pyramid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000782962924,"sku":"9780691254685","price":52.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/99ce51a8c06429dbec4c765bbb582acb.jpg?v=1773004605"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/avram-alpert.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
