Never Enough

From Barista to Billionaire

By: Andrew Wilkinson

Narrated by: 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.

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!!
