6 Stoic Rules To Beat Ego

The gist

1. Imposter syndrome is still ego: you assume everyone is watching and judging you, just with negative intent rather than positive.
2. Technical, craft-based work like drumming or engineering humbles you through constant practice, while chasing attention inflates ego.
3. Fighter pilot debrief culture, where every mistake is dissected without shame, is a model for building personal accountability loops.
4. Holiday says you need shamelessness to start, but must pair it with years of unglamorous work to avoid plateauing.
