Not as inexpensive as Whispersync deals that I prefer to post. And, there's not as wide a gap between the Whispersync deal and the price of the audio alone (the Whispersync deal is "only" 53% cheaper) as Whispersync deals that I prefer to post.

I'm posting this because, outside of religious literature (which I am almost certain that this is not) the subject is so rarely addressed in books or anywhere else! But I think that it's an important one.

Unfortunately, I've blown my book budget big time this weekend, and I don't feel like I can afford to buy the deal at this time. Maybe I can afford to buy the ebook while it's so cheap ($1.99), and get the audio later.

If you'll excuse me, I need to go join the ebook addicts thread here on MobileRead, and try to get some help. ha

Book Description (Amazon):
The instant Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and international bestseller

“While the history books are filled with tales of obsessive visionary geniuses who remade the world in their image with sheer, almost irrational force, I’ve found that history is also made by individuals who fought their egos at every turn, who eschewed the spotlight, and who put their higher goals above their desire for recognition.” —from the prologue

Many of us insist the main impediment to a full, successful life is the outside world. In fact, the most common enemy lies within: our ego. Early in our careers, it impedes learning and the cultivation of talent. With success, it can blind us to our faults and sow future problems. In failure, it magnifies each blow and makes recovery more difficult. At every stage, ego holds us back.

Ego Is the Enemy draws on a vast array of stories and examples, from literature to philosophy to his*tory. We meet fascinating figures such as George Marshall, Jackie Robinson, Katharine Graham, Bill Belichick, and Eleanor Roosevelt, who all reached the highest levels of power and success by con*quering their own egos. Their strategies and tactics can be ours as well.

In an era that glorifies social media, reality TV, and other forms of shameless self-promotion, the battle against ego must be fought on many fronts. Armed with the lessons in this book, as Holiday writes, “you will be less invested in the story you tell about your own specialness, and as a result, you will be liberated to accomplish the world-changing work you’ve set out to achieve.”

From the Hardcover edition.
