About this listen

You and your ego: how to develop a healthy sense of self without becoming an egotist - and how to see through that sense of self for the happiness of yourself and others.

How can you build the healthy ego necessary to be effective in life - yet avoid the kind of egotism that makes people dislike you? Don't worry; Dave Richo has the answers. His new book shows you how to navigate the tricky waters between egotism and selflessness in a way that avoids both extremes and makes you much more effective and loving. The key is to acknowledge your ego and to be kind to it, before you ultimately learn to let it go. As with all Dave's books, this one is full of examples from myth and religion, with plenty of exercises and practical advice.

I didn't finish this book because I felt it was quite repetitive and plainly I was bored. Perhaps this is because the subject of ego didn't really coincide with the type of book I required. It contains a lot of information on a big ego and what a person with such is like. While I picked up some useful tips I'm not sure I'll listen to the end. I am a huge fan of David Richo however.
