I highly recommend this book to those of you who wish to have a better understanding of the ego. I'm a fanatic about A Course In Miracles whose purpose is to train one to shift their awareness from the ego to the Holy Spirit/God. Prior to ACIM I didn't even know I had an ego... that sneaky little booger!
Just when I thought I had one up on ego, I picked up this book and since realized that I have all kinds of other mannerisms and thought processes that are also ego based! It's amazing just how clever, and deep rooted, the egoic mind really is.
