Amy Cuddy, author of Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges, has one of the most-watched TED Talks of all time, describing the significance of body movement and body language shaping who you are. She is an expert on the subtle but powerful ways posture influences our thoughts and emotions. Cuddy has a famous example of posture called the Wonder Woman pose, where you stand up straight and put your hands on your hips, taking up as much space as you can.
