"What went wrong? What can, and should, go right? The great Jack Bogle has the answers. "Enough." will leave you hungry for more."--JAMES GRANT, editor of "Grant's Interest Rate Observer" "Jack Bogle's wonderful, thoughtful, helpful, and fun-filled little book inspired me to create my own title: "Never Enough of Jack Bogle"!"--Peter L. Bernstein, author of Capital Ideas Evolving and Against the Gods "In "Enough,," Jack Bogle, 'the conscience of Wall Street, ' distills his half-century of observations on the capital markets, and on life in general, into a few hundred entertaining pages--required reading for those concerned about their own future, their family's future, and the nation's future."--William J. Bernstein, author, "A Splendid Exchange and The Four Pillars of Investing" ""Enough," gives new meaning to the words 'commitment, ' 'accountability, ' and 'stewardship.' Bogle writes with clarity and passion, and his standards make him a role model for all of us. Enough. is must-reading for millions of U.S. investors disenchanted by today's culture of greed, accounting distortions, corporate malfeasance, and oversight failure."--ARTHUR LEVITT, Former Chairman, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

REVIEW: Publisher's Weekly 10/20/2008

For all the corporate drones who feel drained and devalued by their jobs and long to pursue their passions, Fields, a high-powered attorney turned successful entrepreneur, offers a motivational and practical guide to starting your own business. The author tells his own story of corporate disillusionment and physical deterioration (capped by a stress-exacerbated heart attack, which he interpreted as his "body literally rejecting" his career) to a new life as a fitness entrepreneur. Fields moves beyond self-help rhetoric to proffer helpful, no-nonsense steps for aspiring business owners, acknowledging that "career renegades" must not only identify their own "secret passion" but must also translate it into a profitable and sustainable enterprise. In addition to sharing inspirational career renegade cases studies, such as "Liv's Story," in which a frustrated artist discovers a profitable niche decorating custom cakes, Fields provides pragmatic strategies for creating a realistic business plan, exploiting technology and employing affordable guerilla marketing. While the author does not spend much time addressing the financial risks, chances of failure or enormous commitment of personal energy and resources involved in entrepreneurship, he does provide an engaging firsthand look at the rewards in doing what you love for a living.
