Never Enough

From Barista to Billionaire

De: Andrew Wilkinson

Narrado por: Luke Daniels

"Like going to business school and therapy all in one book."
—James Clear, New York Times Bestselling Author, Atomic Habits

Once a barista in a small cafe making $6.50 an hour, Andrew Wilkinson built a business valued at over a billion dollars by the time he was 36—and yet, his path to success was anything but a straight line.

In Never Enough, Wilkinson pulls back the curtain on the lives of the ultra-rich, sharing insights into building a successful business that has been called a “Berkshire Hathaway, but for internet companies,” and a surprising first-person account of what it's actually like to become a billionaire.

Never Enough features both the lessons Wilkinson has learned as well as the many mistakes made on the road to wealth—some of which cost him money, happiness, and important relationships.

Taking a "no secrets" approach to stories the wealthy rarely reveal, Wilkinson is unwaveringly honest about some of the unexpected downsides of money: its toxic effect on personal relationships, how the lifestyles of the rich and famous aren't all they're cracked up to be, and how competition with peers leaves everyone—even billionaires—feeling like they never have enough.

In this book, you'll discover:

• A candid glimpse into the lives of the super-rich and what truly matters beyond money
• Insights on building a successful business from the ground up
• Lessons learned from the mistakes made on the journey to his fortune
• The surprising realities of life as a billionaire and the challenges that come with extreme wealth

In this rare and deeply honest account, Wilkinson examines his journey to nine zeros, what came after that pinnacled number, and the essential things money can't buy.

Mildly interesting with almost no value

Awe poor baby .. daddy was an award winning architect but I wasn't as rich as some of the other kids and it traumatized me for life. What a little bitch. There has to be more to that story. A number of things didn't add up. He takes an intern with no experience and makes him the CEO and somehow does an amazing job but has to fire him later and doesn't explain why. Let's an employee almost destroy one of his companies and somehow doesn't see it happening for months. Doesn't he review his financial statements? Then the guy sues him, what kind of employment laws do they have in Canada? Then he's all nervous about some altruistic girl that he meets finding out how wealthy he is. Then somehow she doesn't have a problem with it when it? Funny how that works when if benefits her personally. I am sure Andrew is an extremely talented entrepreneur but it's hard to tell from this book. I grew up ghetto poor without a father, a family car, television and air conditioning. I would have given my left testicle for his childhood. I managed to build a business worth about 100 million and I can relate to how it's not all that. Also how when you reach one level it doesn't seem like enough and you set your sights on the next level even when you're not spending it, 1 million then 10 million then 50 the 100 million. However I thank god every night and morning for my success and it does make me feel good about myself. I think this is more about some underlying personal problem Andrew has but isn't able to identify it. Some white privilege guilt crap or something. Obviously I didn't think this was a 5 out of 5 but nobody reads the 2s

What a banger😮‍💨

First review I’ve ever written for a book. Maybe it’s because I’m so early to such a well told, engaging and inspiring story. As a 20 year old this was one of those books that change the trajectory of your life. Thanks Andrew for doing this. Wait, just realized on the cover you’re sitting on the roof. I hope your not supposed to be the grandma on the roof jkjk 😳😳

Refreshing views on money

Always great to hear an autobiography where the persons learn on what truly matters in life

Life is more than money

A bit annoying crackling narrator voice but you get used to it. Interesting life, no particularly dramatic business war stories really, but he made good money and realized that it wasn’t the meaning of life when he was around 40. Probably a message many in business need to hear.

Unexpected incredible!

I stumbled upon this book just a couple weeks after it came out. I was blown away by the story and life lessons Andrew shares. It’s fascinating to learn more about the psychology behind the comparison game we all play, and the importance of keeping the most important things in life the most important things. Definitely would recommend this book to anyone looking to expand their perspective and think a little deeper about the purpose of life!!

Best insights to building wealth

I enjoyed this book so much. Andrew Wilkinson is honest and shares generously knowledge and experiences. A must for everyone interested in business, investing, and wealth. I like his sense of humor and his character. He takes the reader on a journey through all of his adventures building up his wealth from scratch. I highly recommend this book.

Why did the narrator treat this like fiction?

The story is great, but the narrator really made it faaaaar too extra. Made it feel like fiction.

Superb

I loved the content. It spoke to me as I travel on my journey to find happiness and fulfillment.

Different and deep in its own way

I have to say I almost could not believe the words I listened. From the story to his thoughts and the very ending makes it so personal and genuine.

Thankyou for being transparent and willing to share your own thoughts,

Congrats!

Truly enjoyed the book. Really appreciated Andrew’s life journey to financial wealth and his conclusion once achieved them. Inspiring.
