Good Enough: A Reasonable Guide for Actual People

By Oliver Grant

You've read the books. You've tried the systems. You're still here.

Maybe you've woken up at 5 AM because someone successful said you should. Maybe you've built spreadsheets to track your habits, your goals, your entire life. Maybe you've done everything right and still feel like you're falling behind.

Good Enough is for people who are tired.

Tired of being told they're not trying hard enough. Tired of advice that works for everyone except them. Tired of the voice that says they should be further along by now.

Oliver Grant spent years chasing optimization-reading the self-help books, following the morning routines, believing that the next system would finally be the one that fixed everything. It wasn't. What he found instead was a simple truth that the productivity industry doesn't want you to hear:

You're not broken. The advice is broken.

This isn't another book telling you to hustle harder or manifest your dreams. It's permission to stop. To question the myths about effort and success. To recognize how much of life is luck, timing, and circumstances beyond your control. To build a life that's genuinely good-not optimized, not maximized, just good enough.

Part memoir, part cultural criticism, part gentle rebellion against everything you've been told about how to live, Good Enough explores:

Why hard work doesn't guarantee success (and what actually does)The real reason most advice failsHow to escape the traps of comfort, motivation, and endless optimizationWhat money, work, and relationships actually requireWhy ordinary might be the most radical choice you can make

Drawing on research in psychology, economics, and behavioral science-and on the lives of real people who figured out what the gurus couldn't teach-Grant makes a compelling case for something revolutionary:

Your life doesn't have to be extraordinary. You don't have to be exceptional. You can be enough, exactly as you are.

For anyone who's ever felt like they're not keeping up, not doing enough, not becoming their best self fast enough-this book is your permission slip.

Stop chasing. Start living.

Good enough is good enough.
