“As it is today, so it was in Rome. People have always tried to tell other people what they want to hear. Yeah, you’re doing great. Have you lost weight? I love your new haircut, boss. As a species, humans are quite good at obsequious flattering. That’s one of the things social media has harnessed: Our endless capacity for receiving and giving. We can fish for compliments and easily catch them as well. I am doing something special. Look at how many people liked my post!”
Ryan reminds you why you must stay humble to get better, and reads this week’s meditation from The Daily Stoic Journal.
For one day only, Ryan’s bestselling book Ego Is The Enemy is only $1.99 as an ebook on Amazon!
