Review by Booklist Review

Have you ever thought that life would be a whole lot easier if you could just be someone else for a while? You are not alone. Herman, a life coach to professional athletes and business leaders around the world, explains how to develop an alter ego, a personality you can put on and shed at will, all to help you channel the energy necessary to win the game, land a major deal, excel at a new hobby, or be the parent you always knew you could be. In short, easily digestible chapters, Herman lays out the steps for creating an individualized alter ego mind-set and peppers them with real-life examples from his coaching business. From identifying the characteristics you want your alter ego to possess, eliminating the attitudes that hold you back, all the way to handpicking a small object to act as an on-off switch for inhabiting your alter ego personality, Herman helps readers figure out who they must be to achieve the success they want.--Sarah Steers Copyright 2019 Booklist
