Who Should Read This

Anyone who:

  • Measures their life in zeros on a bank statement
  • Thinks “just a little bit more” will finally make them happy
  • Works in finance, tech, or sales and calls 80-hour weeks “the grind” unironically
  • Has ever checked LinkedIn and felt vaguely inadequate afterward

At a billionaire’s party, Joseph Heller said he had “enough,” unlike the wealthy host. Kurt Vonnegut shared this story to show the value of contentment. The lesson is that having enough is more precious than having more money.
