Ryan Holiday
“It is because mankind are disposed to sympathize more entirely with our joy than with our sorrow, that we make parade of our riches, and conceal our poverty. Nothing is so mortifying as to be obliged to expose our distress to the view of the public, and to feel, that though our situation is open to the eyes of all mankind, no mortal conceives for us the half of what we suffer. — ADAM SMITH”
― Ryan Holiday, Ego is the Enemy: The Fight to Master Our Greatest Opponent

Ryan Holiday
“One of the symptoms of approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one’s work is terribly important. — BERTRAND RUSSELL”
― Ryan Holiday, Ego is the Enemy: The Fight to Master Our Greatest Opponent

Ryan Holiday
“The complete and utter sense of certainty that got you here can become a liability if you’re not careful. The demands and dream you had for a better life? The ambition that fueled your effort? These begin as earnest drives but left unchecked become hubris and entitlement. The same goes for the instinct to take charge; now you’re addicted to control. Driven to prove the doubters wrong? Welcome to the seeds of paranoia.”
― Ryan Holiday, Ego is the Enemy: The Fight to Master Our Greatest Opponent

Ryan Holiday
“Why is success so ephemeral? Ego shortens it. Whether a collapse is dramatic or a slow erosion, it’s always possible and often unnecessary.”
― Ryan Holiday, Ego is the Enemy: The Fight to Master Our Greatest Opponent

Ryan Holiday
“We can’t work with other people if we’ve put up walls. We can’t improve the world if we don’t understand it or ourselves. We can’t take or receive feedback if we are incapable of or uninterested in hearing from outside sources. We can’t recognize opportunities—or create them—if instead of seeing what is in front of us, we live inside our own fantasy.”
― Ryan Holiday, Ego is the Enemy: The Fight to Master Our Greatest Opponent
