The Good-Enough Life - Avram Alpert Audiobook
Shared by:hdgdf
How an acceptance of our limitations can lead to a more fulfilling life and a more harmonious society
We live in a world oriented toward greatness, one in which we feel compelled to be among the wealthiest, most powerful, and most famous. 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.
Avram 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.
Visionary and provocative, The Good-Enough Life 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.

The only people in capitalist society who are privileged enough to stop striving are the last few remaining tenured academics and those with family money.
The rest of us are not permitted to simply keep marching in place at the same job, accruing seniority and cost of living increases.
Not when there are younger, hungrier candidates eager to replace us at a lower salary.
This problem cannot be solved on an individual level with attitude adjustment. It’s structurally embedded into oligarchic capitalism.

Well its fun to compete

@brassy - Tenured academics aren’t able to stop striving either anymore, because they can be (and are) laid off for cheaper, younger workers.
You’re right, but oligarchic capitalism can be solved again. And will be once we hit a critical mass of angry people. My gauge is how many people downvote my comments about the rich being a problem in the Fox comments section. At the moment it’s down to about a 50/50 split. Last year it was 80/20. We’re moving more rapidly than I thought.
@Mastram - Not for crumbs it isn’t.
