From the author
Our culture is inflated by the flame of the ego, more than ever. We can brag about our goals before millions of fans. We can follow the idols on Twitter and communicate with them. We can call ourselves the general directors of the company existing only on paper. We can publish any news on social networks. Some do this more often and in large volumes than others. But this is only a matter of degree.

The matter is not only in technology. We are convinced: we must believe in our own uniqueness. We are offered to think large -scale and large -scale to live, remember and dare. We think that a bold vision or a universal plan is necessary for success. We see risky and successful people on the Internet and the media and after them we rush to our own successes.

We intuitively establish causal relationships, which are actually not. We assume that the signs of success are the same as success, and in this naivety we confuse a by -product with the cause. Of course, for some, the ego worked. But for many, it caused the greatest failures. In fact, there are much more latter.

For whom the book
For those who seek to succeed.

For those who are ready to fight and overcome difficulties on the path to development.

For those who want to overcome internal resistance and pacify the ego.
