Summary

"While the history books are filled with tales of obsessive visionary geniuses who remade the world in their images 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)

Life-changing

I've never read/listened to a book that's got me thinking as much, or talking about it as much. Can't recommend enough.

Worth a listen

Not perfect, but this book introduced me to Ryan Holliday and led to more Stoic reading. I found it listenable, useful and practical. I come back to it occasionally, and am glad I found it.

An easy, insightful read

I wish I read this book a few years ago. but maybe I wasn't ready to. Either way, it's an very digestible, easy listen that allows the listener to excavate their own ego, in a a way that is as challenging as it is rewarding.

Decent self help book

Enjoyable but a bit generic. Narration was great and the chapters are nice and short with a cool podcast at the end.
