Ego Is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday is a powerful and humbling book that explores how ego—that loud, self-centered voice inside us—can sabotage our success, relationships, and growth.
Holiday divides the journey into three stages:
-
Aspire – When you’re starting out, ego wants praise and shortcuts. Humility is the antidote.
-
Success – When things go well, ego makes you overconfident and blind. Stay grounded.
-
Failure – When you fall, ego turns pain into bitterness. Learn, adapt, and rebuild.
Drawing on stories of historical figures, entrepreneurs, artists, and athletes, the book shows how keeping your ego in check leads to resilience, mastery, and true greatness.
With a calm and practical tone, Ego Is the Enemy teaches that real strength comes not from proving you’re the best—but from focusing on the work, staying humble, and letting your actions speak.
