Today’s book: The Alter Ego Effect by Todd Herman—a powerful strategy for unlocking your best self by stepping into a new identity.
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- You already have a heroic self inside you. The key is tapping into it when it matters most.
- Use an alter ego to overcome doubt. Top performers—from athletes to CEOs—adopt a new persona to step up under pressure.
- Your environment shapes your identity. Use symbols, clothes, or routines to activate your best self. Think of Superman putting on his cape.
- Detach from limiting beliefs. You’re not “shy” or “bad at public speaking.” That’s just an old story—your alter ego doesn’t believe it.
- Act as if. Step into your alter ego now. How would the most confident, disciplined, and powerful version of you show up today?
You don’t need to change who you are—you just need to reveal the hero already inside you.
Get on that and make today heroic.
