Publisher's Synopsis
"We are often told that in order to be successful, we need confidence. With refreshing candor, Prof. Eithan challenges that assumption, highlighting how we can gain confidence by pursuing something bigger than our own success."
This book gives us a recipe: humility. It's full of stories and quotes to help you get out of your own way. Whether you're just starting out or starting over, you'll find something to get out of here."
"In an inspiring and practical way, Prof. Eithan teaches us how to manage and tame our ego, this insatiable beast that lives within us so that we can focus on what really matters and produce the best work possible."
"Prof. Eithan is one of the greatest thinkers of his generation, and this is his most brilliant book yet."
"Philosophy has taken a beating, but Prof. Eithan is restoring it to its place in our lives. Filled with unforgettable stories, strategies, and lessons, this book is perfect for anyone who strives to do and achieve. It is no exaggeration to say, after finishing it you will never open your computer and sit down to work in the same way as before".
"Once again Prof. Eithan challenges readers willing to challenge themselves with the tough questions of our time. Each reader will find truths that are relevant to each of our lives. The ego can be the enemy if we ignore the warnings of history, scripture, and philosophy. As Saint Augustine was told over a thousand years ago, 'Pick it up and read'; because not to do so is to allow the enemy to bring despair."
"I see the toxic vanity of the ego at play every day and it never ceases to amaze me how often it ruins promising creative endeavors. Read this book before it ruins you, or the projects and people you love. Consider it as urgent as the right training regimen or eating right. Ethan's ideas are priceless.
