Eckhart Tolle describes the ego very well in the Power of Now and A New Earth
"As long as you are identified with your mind, the ego runs your life"
"Whenever you feel superior or inferior to anyone, that's the ego in you"
"The mind itself is not dysfunctional. Dysfunction sets in when you seek your self in it and mistake it for who you are. It then becomes the egoic mind and takes over your whole life"
"The decision to make the present moment into your friend is the end of the ego"
