info_outlineWelcome back to The Invincible Mind; the podcast offering you the deepest and most powerful wisdom on life — as well as the actionable strategies you need in order to apply this wisdom from the inside-out.
Your host is Howard Falco, an author, and expert on self-empowerment and mindfulness.
In this second episode, Howard is exploring the topic of the ego. A lot of us know what the ego is, but very few of us know how to control it — let alone master it. Many of us have been taught that the ego is something to resist or fight — but in today’s conversation, Howard is offering a completely different insight around how the ego operates and why it is not something we have to resist or pretend we don’t have, but instead, something to understand.
Howard highlights the ways in which the ego can intercept us achieving greatness, the keys to consciously controlling your ego, what the ego is really about, and the first steps we can begin to take in order to understand it (and, in turn, achieve mastery over it). He also shares why the ego can often be destructive and the important pieces to keep in mind when you are going through this process of change.
“You are your ego’s master; it is not the master over you.” — Howard Falco
