In Ego Is the Enemy, bestselling author Ryan Holiday draws on timeless wisdom and powerful stories to show how our greatest obstacle in life may well be ourselves. Based on the philosophy of Stoicism, the book explores how ego—our unhealthy belief in our own importance—can sabotage ambition, cloud judgment, and prevent us from achieving true success and fulfillment.Divided into three parts—Aspire, Success, and Failure—the book presents a journey through the challenges of ambition, achievement, and adversity. Holiday presents real-life examples of historical figures, entrepreneurs, athletes, and leaders who succeeded by mastering their egos—and others who failed because they couldn’t.Straightforward, practical, and deeply insightful, Ego Is the Enemy is not just a call to humility—it's a guide to achieving greatness by getting out of your own way.
