Ego Is the Enemy

At stoisismen er i vinden igjen, er visstnok takket være Ryan Holiday, og dømt ut fra denne boken er det med meget god grunn. Det er kapittel på kapittel med anekdoter, kjendiser og store tenkere i historien og nokså innlysende innsikter om egoismens farer. Og jeg liker det. Innlysende er bra når det er sant og godt skrevet, på en måte som får meg til å tro jeg tenker det for første gang☺️. Skikkelig god fiks livet ditt-bok!

“Back to another popular old trope: Fake it 'til you make it. It's no surprise that such an idea has found increasing relevance in our noxiously bullshit, Nerf world. When it is difficult to tell a real producer from an adept self-promoter, of course some people will roll the dice and manage to play the confidence game. Make it so you don't have to fake it—that's they key.”

In a world based on our ego, this book is quite an eye-opener. It makes you think a lot about one's behavior and way of thinking, but also make you rethink a lot of the habits we all have in those social medias times. This book offers invaluable advices towards accomplishing real work, but also as to the way you behave everyday. It's one of those books where you highlight something in every single page and for me quite life changing and challenging. A must read for everyone nowadays.
