Ego is your Greatest Opponent

I’ve completed another book from my reading list. This time, it was Ego: Your Greatest Opponent by Ryan Holiday. The book provides valuable insights on how to stay on track in your career development journey, focusing on four key principles: Don’t be (blindly) passionate. Keep learning at all times. Fight against your ego—don’t let success go to your head. Don’t tell yourself stories—your path hasn’t been linear. Overall, I enjoyed the book and the examples shared by the author. The ideas are presented as self-contained topics, each illustrated with real-life examples of well-known individuals who have both succeeded and failed in their struggle against ego. My final verdict: Yes, you should read or listen to this book! This post is part of my personal development plan's reading log. Links may participate of referral program.
