Maybe you’re young and brimming with ambition. Maybe you’re young, and you’re struggling. And maybe you’ve made that first couple of million, signed your first deal, been selected to some elite group, or maybe you’re already accomplished enough to last a lifetime. Maybe you’re stunned to find out how empty it is at the top.
Ego is the Enemy PDF – Ryan Holiday
Maybe you’re charged with leading others through a crisis. Maybe you just got fired. And maybe you just hit rock bottom. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, your worst enemy already lives inside you: your ego. “Not me,” you think. “No one would ever call me an egomaniac.” Perhaps you’ve always thought of yourself as a pretty balanced person.
But for people with ambitions, talents, drives, and potential to fulfill, ego comes with the territory. Precisely what makes us so promising as thinkers, doers, creatives, and entrepreneurs- what drives us to the top of those fields- makes us vulnerable to this darker side of the psyche. Now, this is not a book about ego in the Freudian sense.
Freud was fond of explaining the ego by way of analogy—our ego was the rider on a horse, with our unconscious drives representing the animal while the ego tried to direct them. Modern psychologists, on the other hand, use the word “egotist” to refer to someone dangerously focused on themselves and with disregard for anyone else.
