The Benefits of a Quiet Ego

Sadly, I would say experiencing a great personal tragedy is a "good" way to cultivate it. There really is nothing like the death of a loved one to put everything, including your own place in the world, in perspective.

I would pay for a social network/dating app/site for the introverted. I just do not know whether this is an oxymoron or not, but if someone figures this I would pay for it. Gladly.

Acting out of generosity sometimes seems to help. It is important that your are actually being generous, though, as it is very easy to lend a helping hand in a way that feeds the ego.

I'm not sure what you're driving at. Beyond relaxation, ego-issues are what meditation has always been about, in multiple traditions if not all.
