There has been alot of talk lately about overcoming the ego/self (ie Fight Club and Defining Ego topic), so I just wanted to throw in this link. It’s an introduction to some psychotherapy book, but it reads like a self-help book.

I believe the points they make are very valid, but the solution they offer is almost too simple - to a point of impracticality. I believe it’s impossible to lose the ego/self-esteem while a member of a society, especially our industrialized, capitalist societies.
Is there an alternate approach to something as simple as “self” and “ego”?
