egoless

Lacking self-importance

Egoless describes someone or something without ego—free from self-importance, vanity, or the need for recognition.

An egoless collaboration involves people working together without concern for individual credit.

The term appears often in spiritual contexts, where egolessness is a goal, and in creative fields: an egoless approach to filmmaking.

It can also describe a state of absorption where self-awareness temporarily dissolves.
