5 Things I Learned Reading: Ego Is The Enemy

Here are 5 things I learned reading, Ego is The Enemy, By: Ryan Holiday (Amazon):

1. Where ego begins, learning ends.

2. Not Rare: Raw talent, Skill, and Confidence. Rare: Humility, Diligence, and Self-awareness.

3. Purpose beats passion, every-time.

4. Woolly mammoths were here the same time the pyramids were being built.

5. With success and ego, comes entitlement and paranoia.

Here are 5 things I learned reading, In Patagonia, By: Bruce Chatwin (Amazon).

1. Patagonia is the furthest place from the origin of man that anyone could have possibly walked to.

2. When I write, I need to focus more on brevity and boiling it all down, like Bruce Chatwin does.

3. “Peon” actually means: Unskilled Spanish-American day worker.

4. The weather in Patagonia is more like a desert that anything else.

5. That famous little piece of skin in Chapter 1, was not from a dinosaur.
