Book review

It's been such a long time, I missed you already. As y'all know I love three things in my life, Love , ink and book. Last days I was reading amount of books that I would like to share it with you.
So , today we have a Quick Review of "Ego is the Enemy" , a journey Through Philosophical and Human Lens
Leshgooo...
In a world that applauds noise and rewards pretense more than substance, this book leans in and whispers to the reader: "Be careful, for your enemy lives within."
Our author, Ryan Holiday, in a language that is stripped down yet rich in spirit, doesn’t just speak of ego as a moral flaw, absolutely not, but as an existential barrier that quietly dismantles you from within, even as you believe you're ascending.
He divides our journey into three stages: aspiration, success, and failure. In each one, the ego creeps in, reshaping our awareness, offering illusions that lack soul or trapping us in a version of ourselves crafted only to be admired.
With a clear tone reminiscent of wise sages in their solitude, he inspires us to be students of life, not heroes in a self-authored myth designed merely to glorify our names.
For me , I think what makes this book beautiful and yummy is that it doesn’t scold, it returns a person to him or herself. It doesn’t demand perfection, but authenticity. It urges any human being to silence the voice of ego so may hear the voice of meaning.
The puzzle I was trying to solve is , Who is this book for?
Well , it's For those who’ve fought silent battles, lost themselves in the pursuit of success, and now seek to return..not more radiant, but more grounded.
For those who see humility as strength, silence as wisdom, and knowledge as a ladder, not a stage.
The lasting message I quite liked from the book is “The hardest battles are not against the world, but against the self when it is seduced by the idea that it is greater than life itself.”
