The focus of personal branding is a person. That's why different principles apply here than in classic marketing, which promotes products. Above all, the person who is staged as a brand must appear authentic. The authors show how the balancing act between self-staging and authenticity can be achieved. They are aimed at advertising professionals, but also at the self-employed, artists and entrepreneurs. Some tips, such as how to make the most of your type, could have been dispensed with. Nevertheless, a worthwhile read for anyone who wants to assert themselves as a brand on the market.

The Switch Principle

Master any change in life with mental flexibility.

Mindfulness or positive thinking is often recommended against uncertainty and fear of change. But there is no one strategy, says Elaine Fox. What we need is mental flexibility, the ability to switch between different tactics. The psychologist shows how we can increase our mental flexibility and recognize what is helpful in a particular situation. The many exercises and information are sometimes a bit confusing and the personal accounts sometimes dispensable. Still, a recommendation for anyone prone to excessive rumination.
