It has destroyed the careers of promising young geniuses. It has evaporated great fortunes and destroyed businesses. It has made adversity unbearable and turned struggle into shame. Every great philosopher has warned against it, in our greatest stories and in countless works of art, in every culture and every time. Its name? Ego, and it is the enemy—of ambition, of success, and of resilience. In Ego Is the Enemy, Ryan Holiday shows us how and why ego is such a powerful internal adversary that we must guard against at all stages of our careers and lives, and that we can only create our best work when we identify, acknowledge, and neutralize its dangers. Using an inspiring array of characters and stories from literature, philosophy, and history, the book explores the nature and dangers of ego to illustrate how to be humble in your aspirations, gracious in your successes, and resilient in your failures. The result is an inspiring and timely reminder that humility and confidence are our greatest friends as we face the challenges of a culture that tends to fan the flames of ego, a book full of themes and life lessons that will resonate, uplift, and inspire.
