The Art of Sufficiency
Enough is a brief but thought-provoking meditation on recognizing and embracing sufficiency in all areas of life.
The Philosophy
Patrick Rhone argues that we spend too much time chasing more - more stuff, more productivity, more success - when what we have is already enough. This short book explores what it means to recognize sufficiency and how that recognition can transform our relationship with work, possessions, and time.
