'Ego Is The Enemy' is a #book by @Ryan Holiday which discusses the treacherous nature of #ego; a modern work of practical #philosophy. [1] In it, Holiday posits that our biggest problems are not caused by external factors; rather, they stem from our own attitude, selfishness and self-absorption. Adding ego to a situation—he writes—prevents us from being rational, objective, and clear headed. [2]
While history books are filled with tales of obsessive visionary geniuses who remade the world in their images with sheer, almost irrational force, [Holiday] has found that history is also made by individuals who fought their egos at every turn, who eschewed the spotlight, and who put their higher goals above their desire for recognition.
