About

The ENOUGH Letter is a weekly practice in deciding what’s enough.

I’ve spent most of my adult life doing things that don’t obviously belong together: climbing a corporate ladder, doing stand-up comedy, being a minimalist since 1999, writing a children’s book trilogy, and reading philosophy for fun. What I eventually noticed was that all of it circled the same question. Why does more never feel like enough?

The question became The ENOUGH Principle. It starts with a simple idea: enough is a decision, not a destination. From there it unfolds: what’s going wrong, how to find your enough, and how to keep from drifting back.

Start with the free Goalpost Problem diagnostic: eight questions, two minutes, and you’ll see it yourself. From there, it’s a new essay every Thursday.
