Wow, this looks really interesting. I'd love to hear about the differences (if any) in writing style, technique and preparation you used to write this book vs something like Growth Hacker Marketing.

@swetzequity The biggest difference is time and size. I broke it down here: http://imgur.com/a/Wb0hO Ego took 2+ years, I think the first edition of Growth Hacker took 3 months?

Hi @ryanholiday, for fans of The Obstacle is the Way, how would you say the new book compares and/or compliments?

@willpate I am a huge fan of The Obstacle is the Way (and still listen to it on a semi-regular basis to keep my head in the game), and would say that Ego is the Enemy so far has a basis in the same stoic philosophy, but seems more focused on showing examples of how to do great work (and determine what the true definition of that is for you). I would definitely recommend it. Thanks @ryanholiday!

Hey @RyanHoliday, I bought today the Audible edition, so far I've listened to it for two hours, already found some profound insights. It might seem trivial to most, but I never realized how dangerous (and poisonous) my ego was. It's affecting everything: my work, writing, relationships and almost everything I do at a subconscious level. It was hard to detect because the story I told myself: I don't have an ego problem; it's just my character... (really convenient to fall into this trap).

Excited about @RyanHoliday's new book on ego, something we all struggle with at different points in our life. It popped up in my Kindle app this morning and is looking to be another great read by Ryan.

I've really enjoyed reading (and listening) to this book. It's one of those 'you-should-read-it-once-a-year' books. Apparently, Ryan has a tattoo on his arm saying "Ego is the enemy", which surprised me at first but after reading the book, makes me think it's a pretty neat idea.
