Summary
"While the history books are filled with tales of obsessive visionary geniuses who remade the world in their images with sheer, almost irrational force, I've found that history is also made by individuals who fought their egos at every turn, who eschewed the spotlight, and who put their higher goals above their desire for recognition." (From the prologue)

Everyone should read/listen to Obstacle/Ego
If you could sum up Ego Is the Enemy in three words, what would they be?
Listen. Sweep. Repeat.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Ego Is the Enemy?
The whole thing.
What does Ryan Holiday bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
His emotion and emphasise on certain sentences and words.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me smile and sigh.
Any additional comments?
Get it and listen through. Also get Obstacle. Very easy and simply written. Perfect for all young people who are starting out and a good slap around the face of those who are elder and think they shouldn't bother and don't need to read these books.

Excellent listen with great ideas
This book was recommended by a friend and when I'd heard the authors name mentioned a few times in podcasts and downloaded it. There is a theme with Ryan about stoicism but his exploration of ego here is laced with excellent examples of ego fails and where ego has been managed. And most if not all examples are high profile and well know historical figures. For me, one to listen to again.

Wisdom in a bottle
This book is just excellent. I cannot believe how many ahah I had, those moments that make you admit you got your post of responsibility in your own faith.
This book is actually really empowering.
I will read it again.

Perfect point but some examples are not
Really good book. Liked that author was reading himself. It make me think and check myself and my ego. Same of the examples in the book were perfect unfortunately some were not. I blame author's political view on this.

Not bad
A little repetitive, with many stories and fillers in between. Nevertheless, the stories are well laid out, making it a unique read/listen.

Listen, Absorb, Apply & Listen Again!
I rarely go through a complete book twice but this one I have and it was worth it. If you think you may have an issue with your ego, even slightly, then this is the book that will help you.

Read this book as often as you can!
I really enjoyed the stories in this book and how they helped me to make sense of my own ego. The podcast at the end was a real treat too!
