ABSTRACT

Unfortunately, there is only one “sin” greater than falling into any of the Ego Traps described so far in this book-and that is making positive changes to your behavior, avoiding a trap, and then falling

back into old behaviors again. It’s called an ego relapse-the damaging

descent from newfound emotional intelligence right back into whatever

ego pitfall has traditionally been your weak spot. Unfortunately, as we

will discuss in a moment, this relapse creates more damage than failing

to avoid the trap in the first place.
