Be fully present. Be in the moment.\u003c\/i\u003e This is a message we hear constantly. While this may be beneficial some of the time, the biggest obstacle to making wiser decisions that actually drive lasting success is ourselves. Being fully immersed in our own limited point of view biases our decisions toward defending our previous actions and maintaining our self-image. We need to exit our me-here-and-now self and get an outside perspective that sees us and the situation we are in objectively. We need a coach. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book shows us how to become our own coach by using a mental technique called psychological distancing. We do this in three ways: self-distancing, spatial distancing, and temporal distancing. First, we can \u003ci\u003ebe someone else, \u003c\/i\u003einhabiting another's perspective. This activates the neutral observer's outside point of view. Second, we can \u003ci\u003ebe somewhere else\u003c\/i\u003e. We zoom out and see ourselves from afar, as just another person who is part of a larger context. Third, we can \u003ci\u003ebe sometime else\u003c\/i\u003e, imagining that we are our future selves who are thinking back to what we wish we had done today. In each case, we can coach ourselves from this distanced perspective. The result is a powerful and immediate reframe of how we see ourselves, our situation, and what we should do. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeaturing compelling scientific research, business cases, and exercises, \u003ci\u003eDistancing\u003c\/i\u003e equips us with effective practical tools to reduce anxiety, see more clearly, and make better decisions for ourselves and for our organizations.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eL.
