Ryan Holiday • Ego is the Enemy: The Fight to Master Our Greatest Opponent
More a friend to his authors than a taskmaster, he aided them in every way. He helped them structure their books, if help was needed; thought up titles, invented plots; he served as psychoanalyst, lovelorn adviser, marriage counselor, career manager, money-lender.

He knows where you're headed, when you'll arrive, and the troubles you'll sail through along the way.
