Man, I spend too much time on this site
Take heed... "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."
I am reading Design Your Life, which takes a different approach to being content. I would recommend it.

Ryan Holiday is a bit of a hypocrite with this book since he's always promoting himself in his daily stoic emails.
He seems to know what topics are important and how to make the perfect book title. The few times I've read portions of his writings scared me off. It felt like he was re-organizing and repeating ideas without truly understanding them or living them. For me, the jury is still out, but I'm not in a hurry to find out.
Thanks OP. Bought the book. Seems interesting. Take heed... "Many of us insist the main impediment to a full, successful life is the outside world.

In failure, it magnifies each blow and makes recovery more difficult. At every stage, ego holds us back."
I don't like making the ego, the boogeyman. I think it is essential to our survival in the world, which is why I am skeptical of this book.

I have seen wayyyyy too many times that people's egos get in the way of getting a lot of great things done. Just way to many times including myself. I am not sure who said this but it is greatly apt for the circumstances: "At age 20 we care about what others think, at age 40 we do not care about what others thought about us and at age 60, we realize that they had not been thinking about us at all" . They attributed that to winston churchill or Ann landers but nothing proves that is what google says. Ego is a great inhibitor.

Oh, that part about realizing nobody's thinking about me has been a game changer in how I go about in my life. It's cool that some articulated it better than me.
