Ego Is the Enemy discussion

This book taught me that I sure could use some more ego in my life. Self- Centered? Blind ambition? Workaholic? Oh wait, you were a millionaire in your 20's so I do not feel sorry for you in any way. What are you going to teach me? Serious question. I bet a lot of people,like myself, are all too aware of their own mediocrity. Some ego sounds really useful! People like Ryan should not be handing out advice. How rare is it that a 25 year old has that type of success? That would be like Micheal Jordan telling a commoner how they can play basketball like him. I have no way to identify with anything Ryan Holiday says about himself, and vise versa.

I have read around 50 pages. I agree with your post. But I am becoming something of a Ryan myself when I speak to people. Seen it all type! Funny what some books can do to the reader

This book give the education to the reader to think critically, feel deeply and be enchanted by the stories and questions author Mitch Albom poses about the life and death of a maintenance worker named Eddie. Although this book is a fairly easy reader for older students, it is full of thought-provoking questions and ideas that your students will love to discuss. This book best fits into a middle or high school English class. Use these questions after students have finished reading the novel.
