Is your EGO unhealthy? And what can you do to keep your EGO in check?


We all have an ego -- and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. A healthy ego affirms that you have value and worth -- which is good. However, an unhealthy ego is grown from an unrealistic picture of yourself. It comes from seeing yourself with inflated skills, abilities, intelligence, etc. An unhealthy ego (or inflated sense of self) can be a wildly destructive force in your life if left unchecked.


In this week’s video walkthrough of Ryan Holiday’s Ego Is the Enemy, I’ll be taking us through the book’s introduction and spending some time on Ryan’s definition of EGO. Feel free to check out my perspective on the definition of ego that Ryan outlines.
