I Have a Big Ego: Breaking Patterns of Pride & Healing the Self
By Nikeya Banks

I HAVE A BIG EGO is a deep psychological and spiritual exploration of the ego—how it forms, how it protects, and how it often unconsciously runs our thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. This book is not about shame or self-judgment; it is about awareness, integration, and transformation.

Through honest reflection and spiritual insight, this work helps readers understand how ego can manifest as defensiveness, pride, control, fear of vulnerability, or the need to be right—and how these patterns often originate from unresolved emotional wounds and unmet needs.

This book guides readers into a space of self-inquiry where healing becomes possible through awareness, not resistance. You will learn how to recognize ego-driven responses, gently unpack their origins, and shift into a more grounded, conscious, and authentic way of being.

Inside this book, you will explore:

The psychology and spiritual nature of the ego
How ego develops as a protective mechanism
Shadow work and emotional awareness practices
Triggers, defensiveness, and relational dynamics
The balance between confidence and humility
Releasing identity-based limitations
Returning to your authentic, aligned self

I HAVE A BIG EGO is a mirror, not a judgment. It is a journey of remembering that beneath ego patterns lies truth, softness, and spiritual maturity.
