Never Enough

From Barista to Billionaire

By: Andrew Wilkinson

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

Length: 8 hrs and 45 mins

Publisher's summary

"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.

Critic reviews

“A massively important topic written by a guy with firsthand experience. Everyone should read this.”—Morgan Housel, New York Times Bestselling Author, The Psychology of Money

“An incredibly candid and personal story of a great young investor and his learnings from his successes and failures to date. I read it in one sitting and loved it. A must-read.”—Bill Ackman, CEO, Pershing Square Capital Management

“Never Enough is a gripping reminder about what’s worth wanting and being careful what you wish for.”—Shane Parrish, New York Times Bestselling Author, Clear Thinking, and Founder, Farnam Street

Have been listening to him on podcast for some time. It was nice to get the full story.

Speed and voice of the book was good. Didn’t put me to sleep. A good listen and some fun mind sets to take note of. Recommend for others to listen.

A+ Storytelling

Narration was great! I love all the different stories and made me feel like I was there in the experience

wow!

amazing storytelling. I finished in a day only because I had to work in between. a must read about money and our striving for security

Protect the beginning

I see a pattern in this book and others like How to Get Rich. They started with their passion for what they do but then from fear, insecurity, and some level of greed their passion becomes this management monster they weren't aware of. Their new business is to enjoy the passion or the beginnings again. I am in this phase now, my passion is successful and growing. I am reaching a point where I can scale rapidly to grow wealth or take a slower road. I do this to keep what I love and have freedom with my family. Thank you Andrew for giving insight what is worth it and what is not. Slow wealth with happiness.

An epic entrepreneurial journey

Andrew’s storytelling had me hooked. Fascinating to learn about his and Chris’ experiences unlocking every next level of success, and all the trials and tribulations along the way. The journey and challenges were both relatable and inspiring. I only wish Andrew recorded the audiobook himself :)

Incredible “no BS” read… thank you!

Sincere, thoughtful, and inspirational. Thanks for sharing your story, and it helped me reframe how I think about wealth.

Fantastic! I absolutely loved it

Fantastic story from a successful, young entrepreneur, who made it to the top and cared enough to share his personal insights, feelings and experiences with others - the ultimate way of giving.

The narration was great, although I would also appreciate to hear it directly from Andrew. The way he tells his story on podcasts feels incredibly authentic and down to earth, and strikes in a different way

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.
