About this audiobook

Have you ever left a nerve-racking challenge and immediately wished for a do over? Maybe after a job interview, a performance, or a difficult conversation? The very moments that require us to be genuine and commanding can instead cause us to feel phony and powerless. 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's revolutionary book 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.

Amy Cuddy has galvanized tens of millions of viewers around the world with her TED talk about "power poses." Now she presents the enthralling science underlying these and many other 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.

Brilliantly researched, impassioned, and accessible, Presence is filled with stories of individuals who learned how to flourish during the stressful moments that once terrified them. Every listener will learn how to approach their biggest challenges with confidence instead of dread, and to leave them with satisfaction instead of regret.

Editor's Note

Replace fear with confidence…

Ditch pre-presentation anxiety and post-interview regret with actionable advice from the Harvard psychologist behind the popular “power poses” TED talk. Boost your confidence by learning how to harness the power of being present.

    Received this for Xmas from a sweet, well-meaning mama of a dear friend. But I just cannot. I hate TEDTalks and I hate self-help books, and I find myself hating the people who give or write them. 300 pages to tell me to assume a "powerful" posture before anxiety-producing situations, and that self-confidence will eventually follow? NOTHANKYOU. It took me less than 100 words to convey the gist.
