Why I'd hand it to you
Ryan Holiday argues that ego trips us up at every stage: when we are starting out, when we succeed and when we fail. Drawing on Stoic philosophy and stories from history, sports and business, he makes the case for humility, steady work and keeping your head down. It is short and pointed, especially useful for ambitious people early in their careers, and anyone who has had a taste of success. Be aware that Holiday's books overlap heavily, and if you have read his others, many of the stories and ideas will feel familiar. On its own, it is a useful check on pride.
