Book SynopsisTrade Review"A Financial Times FT Critics' Book of the Year"
"A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year"
"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"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." * Choice *
