10 Top Lessons From The Book “Ego Is The Enemy”

Ego Is The Enemy reveals how a tendency that’s hardwired into our brains

– the belief the world revolves around us and us alone 

– holds us back from living the life it makes us desire so much

-what we can do to overcome it at every turn .

1. Talk, Talk, Talk
❓ What is scarce and rare? Silence.
The ability to deliberately keep yourself out of the conversation and subsist without its validation.
👉 Silence is the respite of the confident and the strong.

2. Become A Student
🟢 The pretence of knowledge is our most dangerous vice, because it prevents us from getting any better. Studious self-assessment is the antidote.
✅ To become great , you must all know what came before, what is going on now, and what comes next.

3. Don’t Be Passionate
⛔Passion typically masks a weakness. 
Its breathlessness and impetuousness and franticness are poor substitutes for discipline and purpose and perseverance.
👉What humans require in our ascent is purpose and realism.

4. The Danger of Pride
❌Pride blunts the very instrument we need to own in order to succeed : our mind.
✅Our ability to learn, to adapt, to be flexible, to build relationships, all of this is dulled by pride.

5. Follow the Canvas Strategy
🌱That’s what the canvas strategy is about — helping yourself by helping others. 
🟠Making a concerted effort to trade your short – term gratification for a longer – term payoff.

6. What’s Important to You?
❓On an individual level, however, it’s absolutely critical that you know who you’re competing with and why, that you have a clear sense of the space you’re in.

7. Meditate on the Immensity
🧘🏻‍♀️Remind yourself how pointless it is to rage and fight and try to one – up those around you.
🤓 Let the feeling carry you as long as you can. Then when you start to feel better or bigger than, go and do it again.

8. The Effort is Enough
☝️Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self – satisfaction in knowing you.
Do your work. Do it well. Then “let go .” That’s all there needs to be.
🟢Recognition and rewards — those are just extra. Rejection, that’s on them, not on us.

9. For Everything That Comes Next, Ego is the Enemy…
🔸Not to aspire or seek out of ego.
🔹To have success without ego.
🔸To push through failure with strength, not ego.

10. Epilogue
👉Every day for the rest of your life you will find yourself at one of three phases: aspiration, success, failure. You will battle the ego in each of them. 
🟢You will make mistakes in each of them. You must sweep the floor every minute of every day.

THE DARK TRUTH BEHIND MEDICAL PRACTICE: IS IT HARMING DOCTORS AND SHORTENING THEIR LIVES?

The medical profession is known for its demanding nature, with doctors and other medical professionals working long hours and dealing with high levels of stress. As a result, there has long been a belief that medical practice can lead to a shorter lifespan for those who work in the field.  But is this belief accurate? In order to answer this question, it's important to first look at the reasons why medical practice may be thought to have a negative impact on lifespan.  One of the primary reasons is the high levels of stress that medical professionals are often subjected to.
