    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.

    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.

    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 года назад

      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.
