Ego is the Enemy: The Fight to Master Our Greatest Opponent

About

The bestseller that has captured the attention of Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and readers around the world. In a world where many believe that external factors are the main obstacle to success, author Ryan Holiday argues that it is actually our own egos that hold us back. Ego can prevent us from learning, hinder our talent development, blind us to our own faults, magnify our failures, and make it difficult for us to recover. Ego Is the Enemy draws from a diverse range of sources including literature, philosophy, and history to illustrate this point. The book explores the strategies and tactics used by historical figures such as George Marshall, Jackie Robinson, Katharine Graham, Bill Belichick, and Eleanor Roosevelt, all of whom achieved great success by conquering their own egos. These lessons can be applied by readers in any stage of their lives and careers. In today's world of social media and self-promotion, it's more important than ever to fight against ego. By following the lessons in this book, readers can learn to overcome their own ego and be less invested in their own specialness. This will enable them to accomplish their goals and make a positive impact on the world.
