Rayan Holiday is one of the best thinkers of his generation, and this book is his best yet, by Steven Pressfield, author of The War of Art.
It has ruined the careers of promising young talents.
It has made great fortunes and brought companies to the brink. It has made adversity unbearable and turned struggle into shame.
Its name? Ego, and the pleasure of ambition, of success, of giving it away.
This object is the antithesis of the inner self, warned by a great philosopher, of our enduring stories and countless works of art, of modern culture, of the ephemeral age.
In this book, Ryan Holiday presents a series of inspiring reflections on the nature and dangers of ego, drawing from literature, philosophy, and history to show how you can be humble in your ambition, be gracious in your success, and rely on excitement and confidence in your failure.
When it comes to ego, we must fight to destroy it before it destroys us.
‘The pursuit of something greater than our success is how we earn confidence.’ Adam Grant, Author of Originals and Give and Take
