16 分钟Hello there, Kevin, here with another episode of the Feel Good English podcast.
The podcast that is helping you, yes,
you become a more confident English speaker by learning from powerful English lessons the natural way.
Today I have an episode based on a book called Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday.
And if you've never heard the word ego, ego, E G O just to give you a brief definition,
the ego is a person's sense of self esteem or self importance.
Basically, the ego makes you think of how important you are, how valuable you are.
So if the ego gets out of control, you might think you're too valuable.
This book is all about maintaining the ego in check.
Keeping something in check means keeping it at a reasonable level.
And Ryan Holiday goes very deep on the subject of how to keep an ego in check.
But he also talks a lot about why the ego can really damage our chances of success.
And what does success do?
Well, it could bring us a fulfilling, happier life.
So I'm going to go into a few ideas from this book,
help you understand the main idea and go find the book,
go read it or listen to the entire book so you can go deeper with it.
Don't let your ego get in the way of you thinking that you need to learn more.
The ego might say, hey, oh, I understand this.
This is no big deal.
