Ego is the Enemy is nonfiction
Ego is the Enemy focuses on helping people in life with tasks they think they are too good for. Ryan Holiday, the author, discusses many real-life events and things he achieved while maintaining a very good ego. Ryan never finished college. He dropped out of school when he was 19 years old. He wanted to become a writer and became one that a lot of people look up to. His work helps young students, mostly athletes, know what real life is about. Young kids these days think everything is about them and that everything revolves around them. In sports, for example, you will always have that one guy who thinks he is better and doesn't have to work as hard as other people.
Midway through the book, Holiday gives brief examples of how to overcome having a big ego and how you can become more successful in life if you help others before you make it about yourself.
I believe using examples from the book and putting them into your own life will greatly affect your life and others around you in many different ways. There is always something you can do to help someone no matter the circumstance. I recommend this book to young athletes because I strongly believe if you take examples from here it can turn your team around quickly.
