Mark Pasetsky's Cover Awards

The news has recently been filled with lessons about people who strive towards power and achievement. From Heath Ledger’s death, questions about performance enhancement drugs by Roger Clemens, and Eliot Spitzer’s financial transactions and use of prostitutes. There have been and will be many articles about the underlying psyche of powerful people. It seems to me as an observer and performance coach that the high achiever takes on risks, love the rush of adrenaline and have real difficulty forging nurturing relationships. The self becomes fractured into different selves. Thru achievement and recognition the individual designs another self-the idealized self. It becomes the idealized public self. It is within this self that they are most able to be connected. It is a role and not a real self. They are bonded with the public self rather than with another. I want to urge some of these publications to explore in more depth the area of performance. The public versus the hidden self.
