Drawing on an array of inspiring characters and narratives from literature, philosophy and history, the book explores the nature and dangers of ego to illustrate how you can be humble in your aspirations, gracious in your success and resilient in your failures. In Ego is the Enemy, Ryan Holiday shows us how and why ego is such a powerful internal opponent to be guarded against at all stages of our careers and lives, and that we can only create our best work when we identify, acknowledge and disarm its dangers. Its name? Ego, and it is the enemy - of ambition, of success and of resilience. Every great philosopher has warned against it, in our most lasting stories and countless works of art, in all culture and all ages. It's made adversity unbearable and turned struggle into shame. It's evaporated great fortunes and run companies into the ground. It's wrecked the careers of promising young geniuses.
