Too often we approach life's biggest hurdles with dread and leave them with regret. But by learning to access our personal power we can achieve "presence," the states in which we stop worrying about the impression we're making on others and start being our best selves. As this revolutionary book reveals, harnessing the power of presence is as simple as learning to tweak our body language, behavior, and mind-set in our day-to-day lives. Amy Cuddy galvanized tens of millions of viewers around the world with her TED talk about "power poses." Now she shows us how to use simple techniques to liberate ourselves from fear in high-pressure moments and perform at our best. Brilliantly researched and impassioned, Presence will teach readers, once and for all, how to approach their biggest challenges with confidence.
