- In this episode, I chat with Todd Herman, author of the Alter Ego Affect. Todd breaks down the process of creating one of these alter egos and why it's so impactful on your performance. A lot of times you hear these performance improvement coaches and they've got big philosophies, but they don't have the tactical sequence of how you can do something to get a certain result. And he talks about both the intrinsic and extrinsic motivators, mentors, alter egos, and all the things you can do to use your mindset, to shift your performance. I think you're going to love this episode.

I actually did this this month and it has changed my life completely. I bought 3 black professional dresses and 3 black tights and some black shoes and a watch. And I wear the same thing every day from Monday to Thursday at work and this is what I have noticed:
1. My morning routine is 20 mins with a quick blow dry.
2. I get to work early.
3. I am less tired during the day and after I get home.
4. I no longer have thoughts of feeling self-conscious because my outfit is professional as hell.
5. My depression diminished because my impostor syndrome melted off. I am confident in my ability to do my work.
6. People suddenly seem to know my name at work - people from other departments that is. For my coworkers I am a day saver.
7. I believe EVERY and ANY problem can be solved and can muster the determination to reach a resolution.
8. I am following through on EVERY SINGLE TASK. No rock unturned, no crack cracking.
This WORKS!
Great good going 🎉
Your story is massively life changing to read. Congrats on your success which I hope continues!
You’re amazing! Great write-up
this is so fascinating! what do you do for a living, if you don't mind me asking?
The motivation behind an alter ego I think is the game changer.
I'm really intrigued by this idea. I came up with 4 different alter egos for different areas of life and I will start putting them to the test tomorrow.
As a survivor of family abuse I was always scared and hesitant. I decided that my purpose in life is to spread Love Joy and Happiness and I set out to do that. It made a huge difference. Instead of focusing on what others think I focus on putting out Happy vibes. It has increased my business network like nothing else. It's almost like an invisible force field against negativity :)
Fundamentally he’s speaking about using “acting as if” to raise your energetic vibration to improve personal performance.
this is the way
It seems weird but thats how you start the process
My life's journey is in phases...when I get to the end of a phase, I momentarily get stuck on where to go next. The stuck moments can be long or short. The Alter Ego has opened that window of understanding of how to get to the next phase...clothing myself with what I want to be over and over again. To me, it's a mindset shift I have found valuable to apply into my next phase of life. Thank you.🙏🙏
I started listening to his audiobook that you are referring to. I’m excited I was taking a break and decided to watch your video because it was short and I need to go to sleep. I’m excited about this whole process thank you for your work.
Brilliant talk ! 👏 Our clothing lives in context to with the skills we use. I’m going to upgrade the wardrobe 👍
I just ordered a wig today then found this. I didn’t realise it was that much of a thing. I think my therapist was concerned when I told him. 😏
Napoleon Hill also had a board of directors in his mind that he would chair meetings with
Great interview. Highly recommend the booK. The Alter Ego Effect. Personal and professional game changer.
Incredible dialogue with tons of valuable insights, thanks gentlemen. While listening, two examples of exceptional practices of alters really popped in my mind which is pretty cool, Halloween and entertainers specifically musical artist and actors.
My husband and I were discussing insecurities this morning that come up when attempting to transition out of careers into business. I mentioned the God Janice who’s image is that of two heads. After reading about it’s characteristics which are the capability of transitioning while looking at the past and future, well in short words at least its representation. And for some reason alter ego came to mind and our conversation so I was led to glorious RUclips and thus your interview. We will most definitely be putting your advice into practice, you’re both awesome thanks again.
Wow, I've been halfway here.. I realised I need to start dressing better, started wearing watches again, I also have been trying new things that old me would never do like starting martial arts class.. Seems I've been on my way to make a new me, and an alter ego might be the shortcut I need
I really enjoyed this interview! The interviewer let the other person speak and asked useful questions, rather than speaking just to speak. Great interviewer and a fantastic interview to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Not even half way through the video and I've just brought the book on audible. Love the subject, love the energy. Cheers!
One interesting point that he made is that the pandemic and financial struggle hits men and women differently. Maybe because I’m single, but as a woman, I felt the exact same “I’m a failure” when my business closed during covid. I don’t think stress with finances is just a male brain/provider thing.
It's because you're single
I agree with you - I am a business owner who was widowed shortly before Covid. I was forced to close my office for a few months and it had a huge effect on my finances. I was feeling like a failure too, it realized - hey - I had a big bump in the road, but I’m still here. Not a failure, but now more experienced than ever. And you are, too!
@TheAlexDouglas I had the same issue. Lost my business & my fiance died because a drunk hit him.
This isn't only a single person issue.
I totally did the glasses thing too subconsciously xD. Great episode, Chris. I am loving the Learn tab in your website. Thank you!
It's like how it's so easy to give other great advice but so hard to take your own advice!
Dj Snake used that too. He started wearing sunglasses and since he is one of the DJs in the world !!
You should do another one with Todd now that its been 2 years
Hmm, maybe we will! Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂
Yess
Funny thing I noticed, both are wearing the same pair of glasses, literally!
This is great 😃 I rock up as "Rick", in short he's more productive than me, fearless, gets the job done and gets tangible results ✅😎
I'm gonna get flammed for this but I think the point of the bible is for people to learn how to create a perfect alter ego to strive towards. To be Christlike.
You’ll get flames from atheist, or lukewarm Christian’s but not from real believers
Great observation.
Thanks chris, your smile is a plus
12:55 This rings deep….
This reminds me of the Mastermind that Napoleon Hill used. Brilliant!
Calling the alter ego 10:00
Almost 50% of our brain is involved in visual processing. True. University of Rochester researchers found that more than half of the surface of our brains, called the cortex, is dedicated to processing visual stimuli.
I’m a writer and I have an alter ego. I’m struggling to write because i feel like I can only write what she would write but i don’t know what that is. Can anyone help me?
A minor correction in the description. The name of the book is The Alter Ego "Effect" not "Affect".
Thanks for the video :)
Cheers
Fixed! Thanks for pointing that out. Cheers!
Great show!!!!
Fake it till you make it
The opposite, actually. It's more about letting out your untapped potential that you haven't noticed yourself. If you read the book, you'll understand.
Pretty interesting
How to pick my board of directors... hmmm
Finished
Beginning was to long get to the point
did he wrote something which explains how he came consistently in the zone
do you guys have the same glasses

It sounds like you are taking on others personality. I say form your own alter; from your life experiences. Your mind has infinite resources.
I feel you, but honestly another way to think about it is that we all have access to all types of behaviors and emotions, there isn’t one that is specific to only one person. I think it’s helpful in looking at others to give ourselves permission to step into the parts of ourselves we feel that we can’t for some reason. Just my two cents.
This is a great point, but I think starting with a template can be helpful. I compare it to the process I was taught as a musician - copying the styles of different players you admire is how you develop your own unique style.

damn
75% of the brain is not and i repeate is not dedicated to the visual cortex
I was rejected from the military for a disability, but that doesn't mean I still can't be a soldier in my own right. I know just what to say, wear, and do, to convincingly wear a military uniform and be perceived as the soldier I know myself to be. And to those who wanna cry "stolen valor" at me, just remember you stole MY valor first. I'm just taking back what I've earned. And I'm a human trafficking survivor, so uh yeah I sure as fuck earned it, even the purple heart medal I wear to signify my wounds from being mercilessly beaten and r*ped for over a year. Die mad about it, or stand at attention and salute me. o7
This sounds like DID disorder. You should seek psychiatric help
very interesting talk, but sometimes this guy said things that made me roll my eyes. I wish there was a woman or someone who's not a straight white man talking about this because there is room for more nuanced conversation.
Lol get that woke shit outta here

Dude what’s with the fake smile, if you don’t want to smile. Just keep a straight face. It looks creepy.

Unwatchable, the guy on meth with less hair depends too much on add too much of drugs to feel confident
