The instant Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and international bestseller
“While the history books are filled with tales of obsessive visionary geniuses who remade the world in their image with sheer, almost irrational force, I’ve found that history is also made by individuals who fought their egos at every turn, who eschewed the spotlight, and who put their higher goals above their desire for recognition.” —from the prologue
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.
Ego Is the Enemy draws on a vast array of stories and examples, from literature to philosophy to history. We meet fascinating figures such as George Marshall, Jackie Robinson, Katharine Graham, Bill Belichick, and Eleanor Roosevelt, who all reached the highest levels of power and success by conquering their own egos. Their strategies and tactics can be ours as well.
In an era that glorifies social media, reality TV, and other forms of shameless self-promotion, the battle against ego must be fought on many fronts. Armed with the lessons in this book, as Holiday writes, “you will be less invested in the story you tell about your own specialness, and as a result, you will be liberated to accomplish the world-changing work you’ve set out to achieve.”
豆瓣上还咩有出现评分,但我估计本书大约是7分左右,书中没有出现太多的让人眼前一亮的金句,本质上仍然是一本鸡汤读物。 并且我感觉,在翻译的过程中,还是很容易出现误解的。 以下是我的思考,不知道是否会有误读。 在作者看来他无时不刻不强调“不要自我”。这这里,我感觉...

评分在阿富汗北部城市伊哈努姆的纪念碑上,刻着来自希腊圣地德尔菲的箴言:“童年时,听话;青年时,自律;成年时,正义;老年时,智慧;死去时,安详。”这是西方历史上最著名的军事统帅亚历山大大帝留下的印记。 公元前331年,整合了希腊的力量开始东征的亚历山大,在一次闪电般...
其实我觉得不用 enemy 这种隐喻来看待 ego 会不会更好一点?书中的很多例子还是很有启发的
评分作为一个没有什么ego的人也有可读性
评分浏览了一下,中心思想明确了,作者就是给出例子,强调结论。
评分sadly, epilogue is the best part of the book
评分“See much, study much, suffer much, that is the path to wisdom.”
