Ego is the Enemy

by Ryan Holiday

2016 · 256 pages · Nonfiction

Ryan Holiday draws on Stoic philosophy and historical examples to argue that our biggest obstacle to success is not the outside world, but our own ego. The book is divided into three parts-Aspire, Success, and Failure-offering practical advice on how to remain humble in our ambitions, gracious in our triumphs, and resilient in our setbacks. By subduing the ego, readers can focus on the work that matters and achieve a more enduring and meaningful level of mastery.

A popular book with millions of readers worldwide.
