Amy Cuddy

Welcome! I'm a social psychologist, bestselling author, TED talker, award-winning Harvard lecturer, & expert on the science of power, peak performance, body language, & prejudice. You might know me from my TED Talk, Your Body Language May Shape Who You Are (yep, the power posing talk), which has been viewed more than 60 million times and is the 3rd-most-viewed TED talk of all time. My bestselling book, Presence, was described in the NYT Sunday book review as "concrete & inspiring, simple but ambitious -- above all, truly powerful.” My next book (HMH), Bullies, Bystanders, & Bravehearts, explains the psychological causes, consequences, & solutions to bullying among adults.

Follow me for psychological advice on how to be your boldest, most authentic self in stressful situations (like public speaking & job interviews), how to build trusting relationships at work & at home, & learning how to change your body language to improve your mindset.
