Harvard Business School professor and researcher Amy Cuddy has received international acclaim for her insights into nonverbal behavior, the effects of snap judgments and stereotypes, and the psychology of influence. Named a TIME magazine Game Changer, one of 50 Women Who Are Changing the World by Business Insider, and a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, Cuddy is perhaps best known for her electrifying 2012 TED talk on “power poses,” which at 27 million views is one of the most-seen lectures in the popular series. In Presence, she explains the science behind these and many other body-mind effects through research, impassioned explanation, and specific stories of people facing obstacles.
