Summary:
"Too often we approach our lives'
biggest
hurdles with dread, execute them with anxiety, and leave them with regret. By accessing our personal power, we can achieve "
presence
," the state in which we stop worrying about the impression we're making on others and instead adjust the impression we've been making on ourselves. As Harvard professor Amy Cuddy reveals, we don't need to embark on a grand spiritual quest or complete an inner transformation to harness the power of
presence
. Instead, we need to nudge ourselves, moment by moment, by tweaking our body language, behavior, and mind-set in our day-to-day lives. Millions have viewed Amy Cuddy's TED talks about "power poses" on YouTube. Now she presents the science underlying these fascinating body-mind effects, and teaches us how to use simple techniques to liberate ourselves from fear in high-pressure moments, perform at our best, and connect with and empower others to do the same. Filled with stories of individuals who learned how to flourish during the stressful moments that once terrified them. approach
your
biggest
challenges
with confidence instead of dread, and feel satisfaction instead of regret."--Provided by publisher.
