Self and Identity: The Basics is a jargon-free and accessible introduction that draws on key theories and ideas in social psychology to explore the ways that other people affect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Highlighting selfhood as a function of identity, the book shows that it is our relationships with others in our social world that largely determine who we are. It considers the philosophical and psychological context in which ideas about selfhood have developed and reviews the ways that the people around us, and the groups that we belong to, affect who we are.

Bestselling author Herminia Ibarra presents a model for career reinvention that flies in the face of everything we've learned from "career experts"—and is tailor-made for changing careers in today's uncertain world. Career transition is not a linear path toward some predetermined identity, according to Ibarra, but a crooked journey along which we try on a host of "possible selves" we might become. Successful reinvention comes not from deciphering and analyzing our past, but from inventing and testing our possible futures.

In his powerful and fortifying book, he answers these and other questions.

You don’t fail to change your life because you want the wrong things. You fail because reality does not respond to desire. It responds to identity. If you’ve spent years believing in manifestation, visualizing clearly, affirming consistently, and genuinely trying, yet still noticed the same outcomes repeating, this book was written for you. I believed deeply in manifestation. I followed the advice. I read the books. I applied the techniques. And when things didn’t change, I assumed the problem was me: not enough belief, not enough discipline, not enough alignment. But eventually, ...

Dominant Frequency Projection is not a mindset book. It’s a mechanics book. Every person continuously broadcasts an internal signal—shaped by identity, emotional regulation, and repetition. That signal quietly determines what stabilizes in their life… and what never does. Most people try to change outcomes. Some try to change beliefs. Almost no one changes the signal underneath both. This book explains how. Using clear models drawn from systems thinking, nervous system regulation, and identity mechanics, Dominant Frequency Projection shows why effort alone fails, why progress often ...

What if your reality isn’t being created piece by piece… but selected through identity? Most people spend their lives trying to change circumstances, control thoughts, fix problems, and force outcomes. But beneath every experience is something deeper: Self-concept. The identity you carry determines what feels possible, what feels normal, what you expect, and ultimately, what your reality reflects back to you. In Self-Concept Selects Your Reality, manifestation writer and reality creator The Quantum Shifter breaks down the true relationship between identity and experience in a simple, ...

Who do we become in the places where no one is watching? In Hallways and Stairwells, John Constantine examines the psychological and moral toll of operating in the unseen spaces of authority—where prestige inflates egos, silence enables compromise, and success often matters more than truth. With nearly twenty-three years as a United States Secret Service agent, including the elite Counter Assault Team, Constantine exposes what happens behind the scenes when ambition replaces excellence and image eclipses integrity.

Identity Shifting: The Complete Guide to Becoming the Version of You Who Already Has It All Most people try to change their circumstances. They chase money, love, success, and stability by working harder, visualizing longer, or waiting for proof. But reality doesn’t bend to effort — it bends to identity.

If you identify as magnetic, wealthy, and chosen, reality has no choice but to mirror it back. This is the power of identity ...

Victory Over the Darkness emphasizes the importance of believing and internalizing the cardinal truths of Scripture as a base from which to renew the mind and fend off Satan's relentless attempt to convince us that we are less than Christ empowers us to be.

For years I made my husband's records. I cleared the samples, paid the players, and picked the takes people dance to at their weddings. He took the bow. Then a plaque went up in our lounge with his name on it and his mistress's underneath. She was fifteen when we cut that record. Apparently, cheating wasn't enough. He wanted to erase me too. The funny thing about spending years making sure everyone else gets credit is that you learn where the bodies are buried. And Rashad Massenburg, the billionaire idol my husband has worshipped since he was twenty-four, remembers me. Not as Jared's wife. ...
