It is a versatile book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ a good read...but *by R***S on 23 September 2025* its a great book although soooo anecdotal...its almost a Biography of stories ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An important read for today's world. *by A***M on 18 April 2021* In these days of ego inflating social media, where we are encouraged to present carefully curated versions of ourselves to boost our Ego with longed for 'likes,' and for a society obsessed with the surface celebrity of (some) social media Influencers, this could not be more of a timely read. I can certainly relate to a lot of its thought and lessons. Drawing from his own life, and that of successful and unsuccessful military, business and creative people, the writer applies ancient Stoic wisdom to very modern problems. They are also timeless problems that have bedevilled the human psyche since creation. Although shaped by classical Stoic thought, the writer does not quote directly from ancient thinkers as much as you might think, focussing instead on applying their teaching to the problems we face as sentient creatures. The Ego is there and we have to manage it or it has the potential to ruin and destroy us. It works at all stages of our lives and careers, as we grown and learn and try to achieve, as we succeed, and as we fail. It's using these three stages that Ryan Holiday structures his book, with a closing summary with the same heading, "at every stage Ego is the Enemy." So he draws on figures as diverse as Genghis Khan to Bill Clinton, from Napoleon to Howard Hughes, to describe how they mastered their Ego or let it master them, with the attendant results. So we learn to do work for the sake of it, to steep ourselves in 'alive time' rather than 'dead time' and keep learning, to work les for our own advancement and more for the success of the team and collective, to eschew passion for purpose, advancement for real achievement, and more. It works better as an introduction and primer rather than the last word, and should act as a start of a journey applying Stoical thought or as an addition to it. To this end the writer gives a helpful reading list and an invitation at the end of the book to subscribe to an email list for an even more extensive reading list. Whoever you are, wherever you are in your journey, this is well worth your time. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ego Is the Enemy - Stillness Is the Key - The Obstacle is the Way Expanded 10th Anniversary Edition: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/90135688-ego-is-the-enemy](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/90135688-ego-is-the-enemy) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
