<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Translation of: Presence: bringing your boldest self to your biggest challenges.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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. <p/> 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. <p/> 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. <p/> 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 reader will learn how to approach their biggest challenges with confidence instead of dread, and to leave them with satisfaction instead of regret. <p/> "Presence feels at once concrete and inspiring, simple but ambitious -- above all, truly powerful."-<i>New York Times Book Review</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b><b><i>New York Times </i>bestseller <p/><i>Wall Street Journal </i>bestseller <p/><i>USA Today </i>bestseller <p/><i>Publishers Weekly </i>bestseller<br></b></b><br><b><b><b>Amazon "Best Books of December" pick and December spotlight <p/>Amazon Canada "Best Books of December"<br></b></b></b><br><b><b><b><b>AARP Editor's Pick and a "Top Ten Books of 2015"<br></b></b></b></b><br><b><b><b><b><b><i>Forbes</i> "15 Best Business Books of 2015"</b></b></b></b> <p/></b><b><b><i>Business Insider</i> "20 Best Business Books of 2015"<br></b></b><br><b><b><i>Business Insider</i> "20 of the Best Books by the Most Influential Thinkers in Business"<br></b></b><br><b><b><b><i>Washington Post</i> "12 Leadership Books to Watch for in 2015" <p/></b></b><i>Inc.</i> #1 pick for "12 New Business Books for the Perfect Gift" <p/><i>People </i>"Book of the Week"<br></b><br><i><b>BusinessMirror </b></i><b>"10 Books to Look for in Early 2016" <p/><i>Bustle </i>"10 Books That'll Inspire You to Make the World a Better Place in 2016" <p/><i>Irish Independent </i>"The 6 Best Motivational Reads for 2016"<br></b><br><b>Shortlisted for the Thinkers50 Leadership Award (UK) <p/>World Economic Forum #1 pick for "Books on Leadership to Read This Holiday"<br></b>--<b><i>-</b></i><br><br>"...Cuddy is endearingly normal.
