Publisher's summary

Did you know that a compulsive entity might be running your life and your decisions? Discover how to take your life back.

How many times have you tried to take control of your behavior and the way you interact with others and with yourself? It doesn’t matter how good you can be doing, you always go back to your old ways.

You always thought that as you get older, you’ll be able to take control of your behavior and the way others think about you affect you.

The ego is a complex part of your life, and is the main reason humanity had to come up with multiple religions and medical solutions.

How can you control something that you can’t see or understand?

Is the ego bad or good? Does it want to hurt me or help me?

Before you can start changing your behavior, you need to start understanding the complexity of the ego.

It sounds more complex than it is but once you know what the ego really wants and how you can work around it, you can see the results in as little as 12 days.

Controlling your emotions and having control of all your decisions shouldn’t be a mystery but your birth right.

This is only a select sample of the amazing lessons you’ll discover in The Ego Is Your Enemy:

  • How the ego has been tricking you for most of your life without you even realizing it
  • The essential techniques on how to spot the ego in all aspects of your life
  • The main thing the ego hates the most (this can change your life)
  • The eight habits that will guarantee total control of your life (and how to apply it)
  • How helping others is one of the best kept secrets ever
  • The four pillars to keep the ego in balance
  • The horrible habits of people who mistake the ego with something it is not
  • A powerful insight that will help you discover your true self, giving you back the freedom you have been looking for all your life

You don’t have to keep living your life in fear, pain, and anger while not knowing how to control those emotions. IT is time to live a life of authentic peace and freedom.

Do you want to stay the same way and live your life full of negative emotions? If the answer is yes, then this book is not for you.

If you want to control your compulsive self and change your life as well of the people around you, scroll up and click the “Add to Cart” button right now.

Great life advice

I recommend this book to all the younger lawyers I mentor. It’s such important advice, especially for ambitious people these days, in a society that puts ego and fame over character and substance.

Outstanding

This is great and easy to follow the book. It is indeed mainstream. But the ideas are presented smoothly and make you think deeply about your own personal beliefs of ego. Highly recommended to people looking to start a self-awareness and stoicism philosophy path and have no idea where to start.

Engaging and very interesting.

Feels more like a learning session with history rather than a self-help book and I liked that. Nice to learn from real-life examples. Engaging and very interesting.

okay

The audio was not good. Fast and slow which was distracting. Learned a little but could use some more.

Thank you so much.

The mind-body relaxation the author describes was everything I was searching for and I didn’t even know it. I could not recommend this book enough. The coping skill is so thoroughly explained this book changed my life. Thank you so much.

One of the best books

This book has a really good method of cognitive therapy and takes the complication and mystery out of the relaxation process. The relaxation process developed by the author is based on the most frequently used and effective practices in meditation that are common among many other types of meditation. I noticed, personally, that when I skip the relaxation exercise on a day, I feel more anxious.

I definitely recommend it.

I wondered if I would like to listen to therapy books, but after completing this one, I am grateful I chose it. In fact, I will be listening to it again. It felt like I was observing therapy sessions and the techniques came alive as I was listening rather than just reading. Great book and I definitely recommend it.
