- DAVID F. SWENSEN, Chief Investment Officer, Yale University

"What went wrong? What can, and should, go right? The great Jack Bogle has the answers. Enough will leave you hungry for more."
- JAMES GRANT, Editor of Grant's Interest Rate Observer

"Enough gives new meaning to the words 'commitment,' 'accountability,' and 'stewardship.' Bogle writes with clarity and passion. Must reading for millions of U.S. investors."
- ARTHUR LEVITT, former chairman, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

"Jack Bogle, 'the conscience of Wall Street,' distills his half-century of observations into a few hundred entertaining pages - required reading for those concerned about their own future, their family's future, and the nation's future."
- William J. Bernstein, Author of A Splendid Exchange and The Four Pillars of Investin

"One Jack Bogle has more horse sense than the entire Wall Street herd. When you read the first paragraph you'll be hooked, as I was. This small book pays huge dividends."
- ALAN S. BLINDER, Co–Director, Princeton University Center for Economic Policy Studies, and former vice chairman, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System

"This book weaves together terms like trust, value, success, satisfaction, stewardship, character, and contribution into a life tapestry that reminds experienced readers how they can master the treadmill of their lives and guides young readers in how to control their destiny."
