How to Change Yourself In 10 Seconds or Less — The Alter Ego Effect by Todd Herman
About
We read and watch stories because it is a kind of lower-cost virtual reality, especially back before there was such a thing as virtual reality. When we read/watch stories, we get to walk in the footsteps of the main characters of these stories for a few hours. Feel what they feel, experience what they experience. See life from their perspective.
But have you ever considered what it would be like to be able to slip into a particular character or persona’s head space in your own life? That’s what The Alter Ego Effect is all about. In this book, Todd Herman, specialist in the mental game of high performance, explores this one major strategy that many successful athletes and actors have used to, in a sense, “become someone else,” or perhaps, another angle of themselves. It’s a fascinating concept, and worth some consideration!
