Title: Enough. True Measures of Money, Business,
and Life
Author: John C. Bogle
Stars: *****
John C. Bogle (aka Jack Bogle) is the founder of the Vanguard Mutual
Fund Group. In this compact read, he points out the major problems with
the financial industry, with the world of business, and with life in general.
For instance, in the financial area, there is too much cost and not enough
value – So many have their fingers in the pie. They all take a cut, and the
investor is the one that pays the price.
Here’s one from the world of business. There is too much counting and
not enough trust. He refers to a quote that hung in Einstein’s office at
Princeton: “Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything
that can be counted counts.”
Those not interested in investing may find the first few chapters a bit dry.
Do press on. It will not disappoint. Jack’s comments in the section on Life
are especially salient.
Jack is so well grounded and so comfortable in his own skin.
Unfortunately, he is somewhat of an aberration. He is woefully
outnumbered - a voice in the wilderness. That’s what makes this book so
much more refreshing. It’s not every day that someone speaks up for what
is right. Oh to have more like Jack leading our companies, our schools,
our families.
Read this one!
