He resonates that reality is often uncomfortable and scary but ego soothes this fear and makes you delusional. Besides, it makes you dwell in the haze of abstract and not see what is real or tangible.

The author states that the Ego is a slave to insecurity -that makes people proud ,arrogant and self absorbed ignoring to see issue in their own actions.

So, Here’s the broad-brush idea of the book listed in points : As he affirms, humility in aspirations, grace in success and resilience in failures is the unerring path and structure to the greater good. The Book has three parts – Aspire, Success and failure. Turns out, he is strongly besotted by Stoicism and has asseverated the old ( not old but ancient ) classical stoic philosophy to nurture the age of millennials in this book on how to conquer EGO - the nemesis of our lives. He is an young author yet acquired great knowledge from ancient philosophers and their contributions. It’s written by Ryan Holiday an American marketer, a public relations strategist and now a best selling author. Basically this book gives you the already existing (thousand year old) concepts which are instituted by classical thinkers in a more contemporary manner. Read on! If you wanna have an interpretation about persona, psyche and if you wanna earn some peace and perspective. Be it as it may – amid all this muted lifestyle, there is nothing luxurious than reading books and here’s a book that I recently read titled ‘’Ego is the enemy‘’ and it’s summary for you. Īpparently, it’s time we start doing things in a manner unusually usual howbeit resolving to keep ourselves happy and manage our sobriety. God willing, I would like to believe that we will have better seasons and better days moving ahead with 2020 hindsight . And here we are tip- toeing into summer of this year already just like a ninja.

Yet, we cannot deny the fact that 2020 has taught us to adapt, appreciate and realise how fortunate we are amid all adversities. They are the times I would not want to discuss. Good lord, What an ‘un-normal’ year we had … 2020 was more of darkness, dread ,descent and death.
