Amy Cuddy <\/a>is a well respected social psychologist and a known face in TED talk circle. I got to know about the book of hers from one of my friend.<\/p>\n

The book starts with her personal encounter where she met with a bad accident and how she recovered fully from it. As book progresses, she starts unfolding various techniques.<\/p>\n

Some being:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Self affirmation<\/li>\n
  2. Nudge (the same one on which,\u00a0Richard Thaler wrote entire book)<\/li>\n
  3. Body postures<\/li>\n
  4. Living in present,\u00a0 this moment<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Like every other book written by academicians, this book as well cites 100+ research papers and findings.<\/p>\n

    Apart from all this, the book is full of stories how Amy’s power pose advice changed life of many others. Most of them wrote email to her (which as a collection, she has shared in last chapter of the book), while others met her after the TED talks(all she presented).<\/p>\n

    It is my personal opinion, watching some of her talks (like one below) are better than buying and reading this book.<\/p>\n
