Every reader will find truths that are pertinent to each of our lives. Ego can be the enemy if we are unarmed with the cautionary insights of history, scripture, and philosophy. As was said to St. Augustine more than a thousand years ago, 'pick it up and read'; for to not do so is to allow the enemy to bring despair. Dr. Drew Pinsky, host of HLNs Dr. Drew On Call and Love Line 'In this day in age where everyone seeks instant gratification, the idea of success is skewed - many believing the road to their goals is a linear path. As a former professional athlete I can tell you that the road is anything but linear. In fact it is one that consists of twists, turns, and ups and downsit requires you to put your head down and put in the work. Ryan Holiday hits the nail on the head with this book, reminding us that the real success is in the journey and learning process. I only wish I had this gem as a reference during my playing days.

Jimmy Soni, former managing editor of Huffington Post and author of Rome's Last CitizenI would like to rip out every page and use them as wallpaper so I could be reminded constantly of the humility and work it takes to truly succeed. In the margins of my copy, I have scrawled the same message over and over'pre-Gold.' Reading this inspiring book brought back me back to the humility and work ethic it took to win the Olympics. Chandra Crawford, Olympic Gold Medalist 'What a valuable book for those in positions of authority! It has made me a better judge.'The Honorable Frederic Block, United States District Judge and author of DisrobedIt's rare that I finish a book then immediately reread it, this time with a yellow marker in handI can't recommendthis book highly enough.Kevin Rose,entrepreneurand technology investor'Forget yourself and focus on the work. Be humble and persistent. Value discipline and results, not passion and confidence. Be lesser, do more. This message is crucial, but the opposite of almost every other book. I wish everyone would read this. I need to re-read it each year. It's that important.'Derek Sivers, author of Anything You Want'In an age when self-promotion and celebrity are glorified to the hilt and 'hero' gets overused, Ryan Holiday's book is a reminder that the biggest impediment to achievement is often ourselves.

This is a book to savor by reading it in increments so the power of the examples sinks in, leaving time for healthy reflection. If the rat race of modern life has you feeling burned out,Ego is the Enemyjust might help you view philosophy as anything but a relic of the ancient Greeks.'
