“While the history books are filled with tales of obsessive visionary geniuses who remade the world in their image with sheer, almost irrational force, I’ve found that history is also made by individuals who fought their egos at every turn, who eschewed the spotlight, and who put their higher goals above their desire for recognition.” —from the prologue
Many of us insist the main impediment to a full, successful life is the outside world. In fact, the most common enemy lies within: our ego. Early in our careers, it impedes learning and the cultivation of talent. With success, it can blind us to our faults and sow future problems. In failure, it magnifies each blow and makes recovery more difficult. At every stage, ego holds us back.
Ego Is the Enemy draws on a vast array of stories and examples, from literature to philosophy to history. We meet fascinating figures such as George Marshall, Jackie Robinson, Katharine Graham, Bill Belichick, and Eleanor Roosevelt, who all reached the highest levels of power and success by conquering their own egos. Their strategies and tactics can be ours as well.
In an era that glorifies social media, reality TV, and other forms of shameless self-promotion, the battle against ego must be fought on many fronts. Armed with the lessons in this book, as Holiday writes, “you will be less invested in the story you tell about your own specialness, and as a result, you will be liberated to accomplish the world-changing work you’ve set out to achieve.”

評分買書之初沒注意看,以為是一本講如何提高自己自控力以應對拖延癥的書。後來發現不是,本著買都買瞭的想法,慢慢看完瞭,這本書講的是從人生這條長綫上如何去做自控,保持一個好的心態去麵對生活中的各種情況(當然,不是講具體案例,更多談的是方嚮)。 從我個人來說,大的道理...

評分我有個壞毛病,總是高估自己完成某件事的節奏。錶現在工作上就是計劃會拖延,要不就是很費力地需要加班加點纔能趕上,生活也是這樣,本以為很輕鬆的事情結果總是差強人意。 好像很忙地在定計劃、打雞血、趕進度,事實上並沒人催著必須又快又好,怎麼老是自己和自己過不去呢! ...
