Ego is the enemy

As in The Obstacle is the Way,
Ryan Holiday delivers practical and inspiring philosophy, this time
exploring a powerful concept that runs back centuries, across borders
and schools of thought: ego.
Ego is our biggest enemy. Early
in our careers, it can prevent us from learning and developing our
talents. When we taste success, ego can blind us to our own faults,
alienate us from others and lead to our downfall. In failure, ego is
devastating and makes recovery all the more difficult. It is only by
identifying our ego, speaking to its desires, and systematically
disarming it that we can create our best work.
Organised into
bite-sized observations featuring characters and narratives that
illustrate themes and life lessons designed to resonate, uplift and
inspire, Ego is the Enemy shows how you can be humble in your
aspirations, gracious in your success and resilient in your failures. It
is an inspiring and timely reminder that humility and confidence are
still our greatest friends when confronting the challenges of a culture
which tends to fan the flames of ego and encourage the cult of
personality at all costs.
