About this listen
How can we be our strongest selves in life's most challenging situations? We often approach these situations - job interviews, difficult conversations, speaking up for ourselves - with anxiety and leave them with regret. Moments that require us to be genuine and powerful instead cause us to feel phoney and powerless, preventing us from being our best selves.
Harvard professor Amy Cuddy shows us we need to stop worrying about the impression we're making on others and instead change the impression we're making on ourselves. Cutting-edge science reveals that if we adopt behaviours reflecting power and strength, we liberate ourselves from the fears and doubts that obstruct us. By redirecting our thoughts, actions, and even physiology, we free ourselves to be our best.
Amy Cuddy galvanised viewers around the world with her TEDTalk on 'power poses'. Now she explains the science underlying these and many other fascinating body-mind effects and teaches us how to use this science to become self-assured in high-pressure moments.
Impassioned, beautifully researched, and accessible, Presence is filled with stories of individuals facing real obstacles and succeeding against the odds. Every reader will learn how to approach stress-filled challenges without fear and leave them without regret.
Written and read by Amy Cuddy, a professor and researcher at Harvard Business School who studies how nonverbal behavior and snap judgments affect people. Her research has been published in top academic journals and covered by NPR, The New York Times, Wired, Fast Company, and more. Cuddy has been named a 'Game Changer' by Time, one of '50 Women Who Are Changing the World' by Business Insider, and a 'Young Global Leader' by the World Economic Forum. Her 2012 TEDTalk is the second most-viewed talk in TED's history.

Excellent build on TED talk
Some terrific insights, supported by well explained research. Connecting outcomes we can all relate with, to the behaviours, thinking, physiology and psychology that are behind the way we interact with others. Highly valuable for anyone interested to understand the role of confidence and presence in influence and how to get better or even better at it.

One of those life changing books
From time to time I read a book that I feel extremely fortunate to have come accross. This was one of those books for me. It was awesome to find out there are physical practices and exercises that can be done to put you in the zone.. Excellent book!

Would recomend
I've recently been researching ways to reduce my anxiety. I feel as though this will assist. I'll definitely start "power-posing".

Amazing new scientific discoveries
Psychology and neuroscience has progressed in leaps and bounds over the past 20 years!
This is a must read book.
I’ve also purchased the Kindle version for reference.
There are so many insights to remember at first reading.
Cuddy has written a very approachable and easy to read book.
Full marks for extensive references to other studies.
Bonus points for quoting my Alma mater Auckland University and the New Zealand All Blacks. A classic example of power posing.
Importantly for all people especially women, the ability to claim your birthright powers in an asymmetric and often unkind world is so important
Many thanks Amy Cuddy 🙏💕

A simple idea with huge potential!
I loved this book, especially since it's narrated by the author. Also, being an audiobook, you can try the 'power poses' as you listen to their descriptions. I've seen Amy Cuddy's TED talk, but if you're looking for more details or more context, this book is invaluable!

Accessible, logical, brilliantly simple.
Brings the understanding of ourselves as a whole to a new level. Amy crafts the journey well - introducing each concept in an approachable manner with real world examples and application. Loved it and learned a lot!
