Our intention with this episode is to make you more aware of how Ego can play out and hijack you. The more consciously aware you are, the better choices you can make for your self and others. Because, whatever your view on ego (and definition), it can be very toxic! ****
It is one of the 5 mind-traps in my new book 'Survival Psychology' ****
On the episode we talked about: The relationship between Ego and self identity ** How does Ego can bring shame or a feeling of not being good enough ** Thoughts on competition (and comparison) ** How Ego has external behaviour or front, rather than expressing what is really going on underneath ** How situation and organisational culture plays a part ** The way we feel and what is logical aren't the same thing and how Ego impacts this **The post 066 – The Challenges Of Ego – Dawn Wray appeared first on Tony Brooks.
