Many times while reading this book, I wanted to just quit especially in the middle of the book as I got bored reading through all the studies and experiments. The lesson of the book really just is fake it until you make it. Reading the book forces you to really take the time to play with the idea rather than mindlessly checking it off your list and going back to your same old habits. Recently I have felt unmotivated: beat-up, beat-down, and beaten. To pick myself up, I actually like to lie down (which I can't do at work), nap (which I also can't do at work), or shower (nor this). Adopting power poses sounds like a great idea. Reading this book is a great idea, too It's hard to write a review for this as I was almost finished with the book when all my questions ("Really? ALL her hypothesis were proven true?") built up and I started researching and realized...oh dear. If you haven't read up on the revolution within the social psychology field I highly recommend it as it brings up some really interesting points. What does this have to do with the book? Unfortunately for Cuddy and her co-authors, they got caught up in a huge change of philosophy of research and since publishing their papers, almost none of the results of their power posing and hormone studies have been replicated. None. Personally, Cuddy has been attacked, but also she hasn't admitted fully that her research in many cases is not valid. She's still giving talks and her TED talk is still up, even though what she's talking about is not true. It's a shame since she's a genuinely good writer and I think her heart is in the right place but there's something about having humility to say, "I made a mistake. I want to do better." Presence is valuable for the practical advice it offers that anyone can use to maximize their effectiveness. The core idea is that we are most present and thus able to perform when we are grounded in our own authentic selves. Once in that mode, anyone activate it by taking a power stance, or a power pace or power mindset. I liked how the practical advice was backed by real examples and just enough research to make the reader believe without making them bored. In the course of reading, I recognized many anecdotes and techniques I've heard from others, which indicates this book's advice sticks. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Cuando ejercemos nuestro poder personal, adquirimos presencia, entendida como la capacidad de expresar los propios pensamientos, sentimientos, valor y potencial de manera que resuenen y conecten con los demas. Amy Cuddy, reconocida psicologa social y profesora de Harvard, afirma que no es necesario experimentar una epifania espiritual o esforzarse por alcanzar una profunda transformacion interior para dominar la presencia. En cambio, nos ofrece estrategias muy sencillas para dejar atras las aprensiones y estar psicologicamente presentes en los desafios cotidianos una entrevista de trabajo, una conversacion dificil, una charla en publico, una cita, una actuacion recurriendo a nuestro mejor aliado: el cuerpo. Impecablemente documentada, apoyada con pruebas cientificas y repleta de apasionantes historias personales que avalan sus argumentos, Presencia nos releva que el lenguaje corporal no solo influye en como nos ven los demas, sino que tambien puede cambiar nuestra percepcion de nosotros mismos. Una herramienta indispensable para salir airoso de cualquier desafio a base de pasion y autenticidad, que son las garantias del exito."--Amazon. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

This book talks a fair bit about body language, but instead of what it tells others, the primary focus is about using body language to communicate with yourself, and uses her own academic work, along with some others, to allow yourself to behave with confidence and set yourself up to project your genuine belief in yourself of your ideas to others. The TED talk might be sufficient for you, but if you want to go a touch deeper and get basic information about the research and methodology this is a sold read. ( )
