In a conversation about ego and society's drive towards more ego, the girlfriend suggests that regular journaling sessions can help break free from the ego trap. It's not a one-time thing but a practice that needs to be done consistently. By framing it as a practice rather than a problem to be solved, it shifts the perspective and helps in breaking free from the rat race. Thinking about it regularly and meditating on it can also be beneficial. The conversation mentions Prince Hasi bin Mahommed of Jordan, an academic and author who supports this idea.
