Synopsis

Think JD Vance’s Hillbilly Elegy written with the grit of Nassim Taleb.

Noah Johnson grew up working class, enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, separated, graduated from college, struggled, started ventures, and read business and career books, but barely scraped by for years despite working on what appeared to be all the right things. After many failures and vast reflection, Noah found his calling in finance working in key positions at some of the largest financial institutions. Meh, Good Enough offers an under-represented working-class perspective that will help readers find their true calling. Noah sifted through the noise to find replicable actions others can apply, and he tested the same on himself to break down barriers to the good life.

Meh, Good Enough is a shrewd business/career/self-help book all-in-one aimed at military veterans and those currently serving, while also being broadly relatable to civilians. Competition on the bookstore shelves is often overly grand with unrelatable tales written by CEOs who only study the great billion-dollar companies and macro statistics. Those authors have never lived paycheck to paycheck worrying about how to pay rent next month, and most were born into a VP title. Noah, an avid reader of the literature, found himself wanting more and something applicable to the masses. Therefore, he took a different approach based on his education and experience, relating finance to everyday life, and tackling controversial topics such as nepotism and attribution bias in the business world. He ends with an unconventional twist on leadership. A must-read for anyone born to do more.
