    I cant wait to read this book. You have already inspired me to create my alter ego. "I am Titan Empress-strong, resilient, and unstoppable. I rise above challenges with grace, lead with purpose, and conquer my goals with the power of a true champion. I am the architect of my destiny, and nothing can dim my light." 🌟💪🏽

    Fascinating. i guess behind the alter ego which is "built" mentally, there's our true essence, the light of our soul/essence of individual personality, which can't be "buillt", but rather "carved out", by cutting away the parts of us which aren't truly us.

    omg, i have sort of done this since 1997,(i just did not know it before today) - due to alot of bad things happening, i was always full of fear.. then i inventet an alter ego.. from then to now! i can talk with people being the focus, i have not got that fear anymore.. i have taken a test as my alter ego.. and scored high, even though i did not read up on the subject.

    Awesome recap of the book Ethan! Thank you for this mind map. It was extremely helpful and helps me tie it with concepts I have been exploring in the past to help others. I started creating my alter ego good sheet as I listened to this video. I’ve used this technique before at the gym where I being out “the beast” as I call her and she dominates the workouts. It’s time to bring her out into every other area of life with different qualities.

    Thank you, this is so inspiring, i will definitly have fun with it! Just wondering though, is it better to make several alter egos/super heros that are each specialized for the different aspects of life, or is it better to make just one that is amazing at everything?

    I will have to watch it again as I understood that the " alter ego" was Clark Kent and it was created by Superman in order to live an ordinary life among ordinary people but now after seen comments saying they wanna have batman as their "alter ego" makes me confused, is your "alter ego" your best or worse version accord to the book concept ?

    Thanks a lot for the recap! What bothers me is that the author doesn't seem to go into much detail on how to make the connection with an alter ego, in case if someone is just having a hard time identifying themselves with it. That sounds great in theory, "just assume you're someone else", but how exactly, if I'm not good at self-persuasion?
    Also this book and the concept seems to be somewhat of a rip-off of "Superbetter"

    • @EthanSchwandtTheMindMapGuy
      @EthanSchwandtTheMindMapGuy  4 роки тому

      Perhaps you are right that I didn't share enough about the 'How-To' part of adopting the Alter Ego. Will keep that in mind for subsequent books.
      Also I haven't read Superbetter so I cannot comment on that.
