Ego Is the Enemy Paperback Book By RYAN HOLIDAY

I’ve discovered that history is also made by people who battled their egos at every turn, who shunned the spotlight, and who put their higher goals above their desire for recognition. “While the history books are filled with tales of obsessive, visionary geniuses who remade the world in their image with sheer, almost irrational force,” the author writes. in the Prologue Many of us feel that the outside world is the greatest barrier to living a full, prosperous life. In actuality, our own ego is the most common opponent. It hinders learning and the development of skill in the early stages of our careers. It has the potential to make us oblivious to our mistakes and plant the seeds of future issues. Failure amplifies every blow and makes recovery more challenging.
