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



I agree, and I find the buddhist method very useful.

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.
