Ego Is the Enemy

We often act like we assume that maintaining an inflated ego is a necessary prerequisite for higher degrees of success. But in reality, more often then not, ego blinds our judgement to the point that we behave counterproductively.

This is a fair point that I hadn't really realized, but I think is healthy food for thought. So 5-stars for that.

Also, 5-stars for the author-read audiobook version, and for including the associated Tim Ferris Podcast interview of the author about this book at the end.

Deducted one star since I didn't find the individual exemplars that interesting or relatable; a lot of historical figures that I'm not that familiar with, whose stories were given what at times seemed like hollow unbalanced treatment.
