Ego is the enemy

It's wrecked the career of promising young geniuses.   It's evaporated great fortunes and run companies into the ground.   It's made adversity unbearable and turned struggle into shame.   It derails ambition, turns success into poison, and makes failure the most bitter taste of all.   Its name? Ego.   Ego is the enemy--of what you want to achieve, of what you have, and what you're struggling to overcome.   It's an internal opponent warned against by every great philosopher, in our most lasting stories and countless works of art, in every culture, in every age.   In the pages of this book, we fight to destroy it before it destroys us.
