'The high priestess of self-confidence for the self-doubting. A must-read for - well, for everyone.' Susan Cain, author of Quiet

Don't fake it till you make it, fake it until you become it - the essential guide to improving your body language.

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.

A treatise on presence. --Forbes

Amy Cuddy fuses the rigor of a researcher befitting one of the world's finest universities with the raw empathic insight that springs from uncommonly trying personal experience.

Amy Cuddy is making the world a braver place with her book, PRESENCE. Weaving together science, practical examples, and storytelling, Cuddy shows us how bringing our boldest, most authentic selves to challenging situations inspires others to do the same. This book is a game-changer!--Brene Brown, author of Daring Greatly and Rising Strong

Amy Cuddy is the high priestess of self-confidence for the self-doubting. In PRESENCE, she uses her warmth, empathy, and laser-sharp intelligence to decode the mysteries of presence under social pressure. A must-read for--well, for everyone.--Susan Cain, co-founder of Quiet Revolution and author of Quiet

Amy Cuddy's must-read new book...is a triple threat: enjoyable, fascinating, and a brightly packaged New Year's resolution....There's a lot more to the body-mind connection, and that's what PRESENCE lays out so well.

Cuddy brings an abundance of humility and charm to the page. Her presence itself--her openhearted desire to help the insecure and the uneasy in this age of anxiety--shines through. PRESENCE feels at once concrete and inspiring, simple but ambitious--above all, truly powerful.
--Heather Havrilesky, front page New York Times Book Review --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Looking for growth, confidence, self awareness and inspiration, then this is the book for you.

Reviewed in Australia on 1 November 2017

If you are new with reading self growth book, then this is good to start of with. I have read similar references elsewhere, so therefore some information was useful. Focusing on a few key points that gets a bit repetitive. I enjoyed watching Amy on TED Talks, hence the reason why I purchase this book. To get the most out of this book, make sure to pause and reflect back on what you have read.

Idea is good, however content is underwhelming

Reviewed in Australia on 11 December 2018

I was expecting this book to cover a wider range of strategies on maintaining presence than what it did. The 'power posing is good' point is made within the first few chapters. The rest of the book seems to be solely dedicated to substantiating this claim and giving anecdotal examples of where power posing has helped people. Thoroughly researched, and there's some interesting content, however if you're just after the self improvement aspect, save yourself some time and watch the TED talk instead.

A must read for anyone with confidence issues

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 May 2019

So many of these ‘self improvement’ books are nonsense but this was such an inspirational book. You could tell it was based on actual research and not just someone’s experience of a topic. It’s now my good to guide for gaining self confidence. It really does teach you how to be more ‘you’ rather than teaching you tricks for appearing like ‘a better you’. I would recommend for someone who finds it hard to be themselves around people.

Interesting and well written, this book really works! It makes you think and changes your behaviour. Well worth a read if you have low confidence and "presence".

Cant recommend this book enough! Did not like much the research part (but this is just me) but all the other aspects were really eye-opening! Simple concepts, nicely written - would certainly recommend!
