Chapter 3 has these sections:
Complaining and resentment
Reactivity and grievances
Being right and making wrong
In defense of an illusion
Truth relative or absolute?
The Ego is not personal
War is a mindset
Beyond ego: your true identity
All structures are unstable
The ego's need to feel superior
Page 81:
I was astounded with Tolle's teachings on "Telling someone the news of what happened" including sometimes bad news to the other person. Astounded because he confirmed what I sometimes feel in myself when telling someone bad news. My heart and my mind logically should feel empathy and compassion when bringing the bad news to my friend. And I do. But I have also noticed just like Tolle described an unseemly sense of separation from the other person. I don't like the feeling. It is a feeling of superiority, separation, personal relief that says "I am glad I am not the unfortunate one."
Now I know it is my ego and not "I" who is generating that feeling of superiority and separation.
Ego and fame
