Why Your Ego Is Slowly Ruining Your Life

Scott Lynch
About this episode

Do you ever feel like life is one big game that your ego is constantly trying to win? Do you often compare yourself to those around you and become jealous when someone else succeeds while you struggle? It's time to face the music: your ego might be taking over in ways that are covertly ruining your life. We all have a little bit of ego inside of us, but if we don't pay attention, it can expand and take control, creating roadblocks toward a better quality of life. In this episode, I discuss why your ego is slowly ruining your life and how to correct course.
