LEADERSHIP PSYCHOLOGY
Ego is your Superpower! And it’ll make you happy and successful
Life of Successful Jerks and Miserable Sweethearts
“You’re an Arrogant Pretentious Self-Absorbed Jerk!”
If the sentence above sounds familiar to you, then welcome to the club. Don’t worry, I am not gonna give you another 9-minute lecture on solving your ego-problem fused with some self-help crap, sprinkled with motivation, and good talks. Since you must have already been tired of hearing such solutions all the time, let me come to the point, Ego is NOT a problem.
It’s a blessing if embraced appropriately. Plus, you badly need this Ego to be successful and happy in your life.
Yes, you read it right.
Your “Ego-problem” might be the best thing that could ever happen to you! Ego isn’t necessarily a villain in everyone’s life story. It can be a hero, too, provided that it’s directed in the right way.
Introduction
Liz Bentley, founder & President of Liz Bentley Associates, once said in an interview,
“Ego is our greatest strength and our greatest weakness. It can propel us up and sabotage us all the way down.”
