I’ve completed another book from my reading list. This time, it was Ego: Your Greatest Opponent by Ryan Holiday. The book provides valuable insights on how to stay on track in your career development journey, focusing on four key principles:
- Don’t be (blindly) passionate.
- Keep learning at all times.
- Fight against your ego—don’t let success go to your head.
- Don’t tell yourself stories—your path hasn’t been linear.
Overall, I enjoyed the book and the examples shared by the author. The ideas are presented as self-contained topics, each illustrated with real-life examples of well-known individuals who have both succeeded and failed in their struggle against ego.
My final verdict: Yes, you should read or listen to this book!
