Ego Is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday

Success can make us feel unstoppable. Failure can make us doubt ourselves. Ryan Holiday reveals the hidden force behind both: ego.

In Ego Is the Enemy, he shows how ego can limit our growth and achievements. Through stories from history, business, sports, and leadership, Holiday reminds us that success comes from humility and the willingness to keep learning.

This month, we explore confidence versus ego, humility, and turning setbacks into growth.

Quote of the Month:
“The ego we see most commonly goes by more casual definition: an unhealthy belief in our importance.”
