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 TED talk 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.

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

One of the best
Amy Cuddy is an amazing human being! I deeply appreciate what she has done and keeps doing for us humans in this world. Power posing has gotten me through some tough situations and I hope we keep sharing the science, as she puts it. If you haven't heard of her, I highly recommend her TED talk followed by this book! I hope it's the first of many! Thanks again, Amy! You change lives!!

A most read for women, teens, and parents of teens.
I enjoyed this book so deeply I want every person to read it. I kept thinking of all this amazing people that I know that sabotage their true self because of lack of confidence. This is a great and simple way to expedite human development and bring your true essence to serve humanity in a much needed time

Life-changing!!
Probably life changing. I tried her poses the last few days and it worked so well for me. The story overall and results of research examples could be shorter if you ask me. Overall loved it! It gave me more grounding.

Absolutely great
This is one of those life changing books. Simply written, well read and packed with insight and wisdom. When history is written this will be modern day classic along with Shakespeare and Trotsky and Bottom. Thank you!

Very compelling
It's a great book, narration by the author is great, you can feel that she's really emotive and motivated by what she does, her research. I really enjoyed it and it makes you think about a whole lot of stuff. I recommend it.

help for one to allow oneself to be oneself
One has to be present to grasp the message of this valuable book. Listening to Professor Cuddy has its impact though not the same as attending her lecture. It is helpful that she shares the science by explaining various details of multiple findings by numerous researchers that support her statements from her much acclaimed TED Talk.
Noticed change in sound of voice twice.
