Chasing Enough: How to Find Satisfaction in a World That Always Wants More

Why Are We So Dissatisfied Despite Having More Than Ever? We live in an age of unprecedented wealth, health, and convenience. Yet many of us feel more dissatisfied than ever. Why? The answer can be summed up in a single word: more. Modern life traps us in a relentless cycle of wanting, where every achievement, purchase, or milestone quickly gives way to the next desire. Satisfaction always seems just beyond reach. This raises a profound question: Can we ever have enough? Drawing on his personal journey through long-term substance use recovery and his professional expertise as an Associate Professor at Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Luke Kalb has witnessed firsthand how the endless pursuit of more undermines well-being across every walk of life. Introducing RISE: A Science-Backed Path to Contentment. Built on data from the foremost survey of human well-being, Chasing Enough introduces RISE, Dr. Kalb's new scientific framework that illuminates the modern path to contentment. Those who reach the summit of RISE experience a deep and abiding satisfaction with their lives. In an era of rising expectations and declining happiness, the answer is not more. The answer is finding enough. 100% of all proceeds from Chasing Enough will be donated to The Phoenix, a peer-support recovery community that helps people build meaningful lives free from alcohol and drugs.
