The Alter Ego Effect: Perform Better Any Time, Anywhere
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros.
Whether we realize it or not, we all play characters in our lives. The idea that we should unashamedly show up as the “best” version of ourselves in all settings sounds good, but in reality, it is a gross oversimplification of the truth.
Think about it….
There’s:
- You the CEO
- You the friend
- You the salesperson
- You the mum or you the dad
- There’s you the amateur train collector or video game enthusiast
We have different versions of ourselves. Does that make you disingenuous or inauthentic? Not at all. We’re all multifaceted beings, and if you can’t see that, you’re not paying attention.
Our guest today is Todd Herman. His book The Alter Ego Effect explains WHY understanding and investing in these different archetypes of the self is one of the most powerful performance cheat codes available to us. Today’s conversation is about how to harness it.
