The core content is great but theme maybe too much

I think there's a lot of value to take away from this book and concepts that are based on truths on how the mind works. Todd does a great job of illuminating these concepts in a reasonable length of time, with examples not being too overwhelming or overdone like a lot of self-help books.

Where it gets a little fiddly is Todd's general theming of the concepts, really double downing on the whole superhero and super villain theme, which gets a little weird and maybe juvenile. For me it might have even muddied the waters in terms of clarity of the core concepts, however, it's hard to say whether the theming actually helped maintain my interest to digest what is potentially dry concepts that is frequent in self-help books.

Ultimately though, there is value to be had here, but might need to sit, think, redigest and map out everything to really get to the core of it all, without all the (debatably) unnecessary hero speak.

Thought Provoking

Mike Michalowicz recommended this book via email in which he implied that he had used the technique. The title immediately intrigued me.
All throughout the reading of this book I would get distracted thinking about doing what the book was asking. I had multiple alter-ego-type events in my teen years where I was able to imagine my way into a state of being that was more desirable than where I started. I even sort of lived a double life back then as a normal kid at school, but a popular kid at the mega church I belonged to. I already understood the power, but it's not something I had thought about in a good long time.
I started to go into my present situation in this space, but it didn't seem like a review of the book so I erased it. It seems like my willingness to talk intimately about my life probably suggests something positive about the book.
In the end, I bought a version to read because I want to go through it again at a pace where I can stop to think and do the things the book asks. Listening to it while driving only gave me the opportunity to think about what was being said.

NEXT BIG THING! Definitely underrated!

Mark my words...this book will be a Top Bestseller by the end of 2019. Unlike other business/self-help books, the author (Todd Herman) delivers the content with an unorthodox, yet compelling approach that will have readers' wanting to consume more and more..

If you're an athlete, business owner, entrepreneur, dream-chaser, or any else along those lines, then check out this book! It's a must-read!

Pretty Cool Tool

I think of comic books when I think of alter ego and then I think cheesy. Next I think mentally not stable and not grounded in reality. BUT, after reading this, I now get it and I don't think those things if used properly with the right intention and purpose. I can see how this can be a benefit especially when having to make changes quickly. This is a great coping skill until confidence is obtained. I like how really the alter ego is a part of you and you are magnifying certain characteristics that you already have to get you where you want and need to be. I think it is a great concept and I am glad I read the book.
