Simon McDonald writes about progress and how ego sabotages it. So many countries, businesses, and individuals fail to achieve their goals. The big question is why. The answer cannot be obvious. If it were, people would not be still struggling to achieve their goals. Simon's work provides you with two answers. Firstly, people only partially understand how progress works. They are like a medical student who only knows about one or two of the body's organ systems. The student might be an expert in what she knows. However, to be a good doctor, she must know about all of the body's organs and how they work together. The second answer is ego. To achieve your goals, you need to know how ego sabotages progress. These two insights are the foundation of much more. He now devotes his time to sharing his insights in a series of blogs and books.
