We hear a lot about ego today. Whether it's in association with Presidents or Chief Execs, in relation to social media or celebrity, ego appears to be everywhere. But is it a problem? Ego is Latin for 鈥淚鈥� so clearly we can鈥檛 escape it. For Freud the Ego plays a moderating role. Yet today we refer to the Ego in a negative sense. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 your Ego talking" or 鈥渢he Ego has landed.鈥� So what is the Ego and can religion help us to understand our relationship to it?

In the final episode of this series of Beyond Belief, Ernie Rea is joined by Ajmal Masroor, a Bangladeshi born British Imam, the Reverend Lucy Winkett, Rector of St James鈥� Church Piccadilly and Dav Panesar, a Sikh who has carried out pioneering work on mindfulness and contemplative based health interventions in the UK.
