In the quiet of dawn, while the rest of the world sleeps, I immerse myself in a silent conversation with books. On this transformative journey, which I’ve termed “My Awakening,” I’ve found myself lost within the pages of Ryan Holiday’s Ego is the Enemy.
Why This Book?
So why this book?
It’s pretty straightforward.
Reinvention is key to staying fresh and relevant, and for that, I need to tackle the ego head-on. Holiday nails it when he says the ego is our “unhealthy belief in our own importance. Arrogance. Self-centered ambition…” It’s that inner brat that wants its way, consequences be damned.
The book is filled with stories from history that hit home with a clear message: the biggest thing standing in our way is often ourselves. My own story right now? It’s about building, bouncing back, and finding that solid inner core that keeps pushing forward, no matter what.
So, here’s a bit of advice from what I’ve learned: take a moment in the morning to ask yourself where the ego’s getting in your way. How can you push past it?
Keep reading, keep learning, and we’ll talk again soon.
