Holiday's newest book Ego is the Enemy is an anthropology of the ego, and it shows that while confidence enables one to strive forward and reach new heights, ego can be detrimental and stunt accomplishment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RYAN HOLIDAY Ryan Holiday is a media strategist and prominent writer on strategy and business.
