An award-winning performance expert reveals the secret behind many top athletes and executives: creating a heroic alter ego to activate when the chips are down. There's only one person in the way of you untapping your capabilities: You. There's also one person who can move you out of the way so you can perform at your peak. That person is already inside you. You just need to unlock them. This other part of you is your Heroic Self and you unlock it with an Alter Ego. After twenty-one years of working with elite athletes, performers and leaders, Todd Herman is revealing how you can use your alter ego to achieve the seemingly impossible. It all clicked for Todd when he met Bo Jackson. When Herman met Bo Jackson, the professional athlete told him, "Bo Jackson never played a down of football in his entire life." Bo explained that when he was young, he'd get into trouble because chaos caused by his anger issues. Then, he saw Friday the 13th and became fascinated by the cold, calculating nature of Jason Vorhees. In that moment, he resolved to stop being Bo Jackson, and start being Jason the moment he stepped on the field. In this transformative guide, Herman teaches you how to create and control an Alter Ego like Bo--and the thousands of other athletes, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and entertainers who have used this simple tool to change their lives. Herman also shares his own story: he knew that inside was a confident, self-assured, intelligent person who could help others get better results in their lives. When he started using superman's classic trick--putting on a pair of glasses--he learned to trigger the specific traits he needed to achieve his goals. The Alter Ego Effect is not about creating a false mask--it's about finding the hero already inside you. It's a proven way of overcoming the self-doubt, negativity, and insecurity that hold you back, and empowering you to ultimately become your best self.

My Super Me: Finding The Courage For Tough Stuff

Review\n"My Super Me is a magically powerful book that helps show young children how they can learn to overcome their greatest challenges through their imagination and the creativity of their play. A great tool to help children develop their own inner sense of responsibility and build self-confidence to manage their emotions to overcome the tough stuff in life. Herman and Jones have taken a very abstract concept and made it come to life so that children and parents alike can relate and feel empowered with each turn of the page."\n~ Theresa Reed, Psy.D, LCP\nOur little hero is growing up in a world that can seem big, loud, and scary. Some people tell him he's too small, too young, or too whatever. But when he puts on his cape and learns to play through the fearless traits of his superhero stuffed animal, Captain Storm, he finds the courage and resilience to show up in a more brave way and ultimately unlocks his heroic self. 
This Mom's Choice Awards® Gold Recipient captures the big idea nested in the already Wall Street Journal and Publisher's Weekly bestseller, The Alter Ego Effect, from award-winning Performance & Mental Game Coach to Olympians, leaders & public figures, Todd Herman. 
What's the big idea? Humans find out what they're made of when they play with the idea of acting through the abilities of someone or something else they admire. And kids are better at it than adults. 
Little kids will enjoy following the story of Captain Storm, who makes his way through a maze of adventures and everyday challenges. This fun read will inspire them to believe in themselves and face down tough stuff with more grit.

Poetry. African American studies. Confrontative, meditative, and sensuous, FORBIDDEN ACTS, a film by Todd Herman, showcases three poems by black disabled advocate and writer Leroy Moore. Herman's provocative imagery seamlessly intertwines with Moore's explicit poetry and takes a head-on look at issues of body image, sexuality and disability--relative to politics, medicine, and race. With naked honesty, Herman and Moore combine advocacy, social critique, visual poetry, and spoken word while subtly addressing many of the stereotypes prevalent in disability imagery. Forbidden Acts is an engaging glimpse into Moore's exploration of his own sexuality and the limits that social institutions attempt to impose upon its expression. It is a potent film that ultimately sees beyond the barriers between disability and sexuality, and opens new doors for the expression of sexual desires and frustrations among our disabled brothers and sisters.
