The World of Ego vs. Self-Esteem
Ego is usually a mask for a lack of self-love. It’s a type of defense mechanism. We use it to protect ourselves. It can keep us in power, shut out vulnerability, and keep our emotions at a comfortable distance. But that is not what happy, fulfilling lives are made of.
Our society tells us ego and self-esteem are the same thing, but they are not.
This book gives you a road map to build self-esteem and cleanse yourself of the destructive nature of ego.

Intro Chapter and
Note To The Reader
“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the
world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”
~ Rumi
Our society has sold us a lie. We have been taught
from an early age that if you have the “right” car, the
“right” label on your shirt, the “right” job, the “right”
number on the scale, then you have esteem. We have
been taught that ego and self-esteem are the same
thing, connected to each other. That all those outside
things make us who we are. And it’s just not true.
Chapter One:
Ego and Self-Esteem
“The greatest thing in the world is to know how to
belong to oneself.” ~ Michel de Montaigne
One time, a commercial came on television that
caught my attention. The message was, “Grow more
hair and gain self-esteem!” I thought, “WHAT?! My
self-esteem depends on how many follicles I have??”
I’m sorry to say, but your self-esteem has nothing to
do with how much hair you have on your head.
Self-esteem has to do with how you feel ...
“A self is not something static, tied up in a pretty parcel
and handed to the child, finished and complete. A self is always becoming.”
~ Madeleine L'Engle
