A corner stone for every ambitious person

Commenté en France le 13 mai 2022

This is my 3rd book by Ryan Holiday and I cannot describe enough the eye opening experiences I've had reading each of his books. This one is about mastering ego and how it is -more times than we think- the sole destructive force that keep us from fin find great success.

UN TITRE QUI RESUME TOUT UN OUVRAGE

Commenté en France le 25 septembre 2017

Un appel sincère à plus d'humilité et une invitation à ne pas se laisser affaiblir par l'hypertrophie d'un ego qui se dresse alors pour vous détruire. Ceci résume l'oeuvre. L'auteur donne de nombreux exemples pour illustrer ses affirmations. Nombreux sont là pour faire du texte. Certains des personnages cités en exemple, gagneraient à être présentés avant d'en parler. Napoléon est décrit à trois reprises comme un personnage aveuglé par un ego surdimensionné. On s'ennuie d'un bout à l'autre.

Could be better

Commenté en France le 13 juin 2018

Achat vérifié

A lot of analysis isn t convincing, and when it is delivered with "let it be clear",etc..it s annoying

Sounds to me that the author needed to write this book for his own sake after the success of a previous book...

For a thing, liking the fact that Eisenhover didn t want to receive unopened letters , with eisenhower matrix , is just an interpretation

Maybe it was just a security measure : what if there has been poison in the letter ?
That s just an interpretation

Not practical, But Full of Inspiring Anecdotes

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 16 juillet 2019

Achat vérifié

I have to say that I expected something different from this hyped book. I was expecting a practical guide on how to work on reducing the influence of ego in my daily life and my decisions. Instead, I found it was more of a collection of anecdotes from history about failed egomaniacs and successful quiet leaders.

For a non-fiction book, it's surprisingly unpractical and non-scientific. This would be my biggest criticism.

Yet I would recommend it to those who want to be inspired to keep doing great work and to hang in there, even though gratification and rewards still might be miles away. For me, it's less of a book I need to read front to back to grasp the concepts, but more of a book I can pick up whenever I need a small hit of inspiration.

Mountain out of a molehill

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 13 avril 2021

Achat vérifié

Not very insightful. Follows the same template as other self help books by people who aren't experts in the subject matter. The template includes an example story of a person showing or handling ego and analysis of that story. A lot the "what" not a lot of "how". Some of the advice was insightful but most of it was common sense should have been condensed into 2 or 3 chapters max. Some more useful, insightful and practical books include 'How to be comfortable with being uncomfortable', 'The courage to be disliked'.

Not a guide how to control your ego

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 5 décembre 2021

Achat vérifié

I thought this would have been a self help guide but no. It is more of a history lesson on individuals who either controlled their ego or who let their ego beat them

If you want to understand why you are not achieving your goals or to overcome any obstacles, you must read this book.

Lots of good nuggets but hard to implement

Commenté au Canada le 4 septembre 2018

Achat vérifié

I got a lot out of this book and would recommend it to anyone who got as far as reading reviews. It’s a good book because it identifies a big problem that most of us are not aware of: this thing called the ego. That being said there weren’t enough concrete exercises that would help reduce a swollen ego. I, in my Great wisdom, know this would have been a great feature of the book. Also I didn’t like how the author nitpicked famous people and reported how their egos caused their downfalls. It’s easy with 20-20 hindsight to find fault in great failures and attribute it all to large egos, but the irony is that it’s a bit egotistical to make such presumptions. Anyhow I bought two of his other books so...

Some good thought provoking content, but not convinced by all opinions

Commenté en Australie le 28 février 2018

Achat vérifié

There some interesting content in this book that reminds you of the importance of being humble (Donald Trump is apparently a great example here... according to him <- my comment not the author's).

There are also a few points I simply disagree with. One is the negative view of anyone who jumps from idea to idea or project to project. This isn't a necessarily a reflection of egotistical behaviour, which is implied by the author. Any study of personality profiles like Myers Briggs can explain this tendancy with some personalities. I am an INTP and this trait is common with my personality type. The Belbin look at team roles based on profiling also highlights that certain people are plants or shapers of new ideas, but rarely follow through and are completer-finishers. It's not a 'fault', but it is a characteristic or behaviour. Good teams balance the roles as described by Belbin.

Another point was that anyone that needs recognition is egotistical. Again, this isn't necessarily egotistical, but points to different personality types that need feedback.

Maybe I misunderstood the author, but I'm not sure Ryan is explaining himself well enough.

Simple but still useful

Commenté en Allemagne le 20 mars 2022

Achat vérifié

Very simple book. If you are expecting a very thorough technical-backed explanations about ego and how it plays with other parts of consciousness, this is not the book.

It's more like a series of stories on top of a very simple statements about life from a villain ego perspective.

Good book, but flawed

Commenté en Inde le 2 mai 2020

Achat vérifié

This book is certainly a very good, useful and thought provoking read on the dangers of ego. However I find the cherry-picking of examples to be disingenuous. It would have been useful to show a more balanced view on the advantages and the disadvantages of ego and related subjects.

Important but less than 'Obstacle is the way?

Commenté en Italie le 20 décembre 2016

Achat vérifié

This book is too much linked to the personal history of the writer. But which one is not, you should enquire. Personally, when you find in the first pages an explanation on why the author has written the book, I don't like.
