I'm not an authority on this stuff, but the rationale that resonates with me is: 1) gaining awareness of & context for the ego-narrative can HUGELY reduce psychological suffering, and 2) the ego doesn't go away for the vast majority of practitioners - it is put into perspective within a larger awareness
- petra 6y agoI agree, and I find the buddhist method very useful. But it seems that ambitious people usually have strong attachment to the ego and that what drives them. And that's useful in a highly competitive society, where apartments are expensive, for example. And once you out that into a larger perspective, some of that drive gets lost.
