MODERN MONDAY: Is Ego...the Enemy? A Stoic Examination

We throw the word ego around constantly.
Too much ego. No ego. The death of ego.

But what if it’s not what we think it is?

The Stoics didn’t use the word ego, but they were deeply concerned with its parts: reputation, pride, self-image, approval-seeking, and identity attachment.

In this discussion, we’ll explore:
What ego really is
What the Stoics actually said about it
Where it hides in modern life
Whether it should be destroyed or perhaps dethroned
And if a little ego can be useful or healthy even???? 🤨🤨🤨

Come curious. Come reflective. Come ready to question your assumptions.
