Amy Cuddy · ボディランゲージが自分を変える

So I want to ask you to think about the last time you were in a high-stakes social situation. Maybe a job interview. Meeting your partner's parents. An important presentation. Nonverbal behavior is incredibly powerful. We know that we judge others based on their body language. And in turn, our own body language shapes who we are. When we feel powerful, we expand. We open up. We take up space. When we feel powerless, we close up. Here's what's fascinating: our bodies can actually change our minds. In two minutes, your body can change your mental state. We carried out an experiment. People posed in high-power positions — open, expansive, taking up space — or low-power positions, for two minutes. The people who held high-power poses felt more powerful, performed better under pressure, and took more risks. These findings are backed up by research in animals and primates as well. So this is what I'm saying to you: before that next big presentation or interview, go to a bathroom stall and stand in a power pose for two minutes. Configure your body to be powerful. Don't fake it till you make it. Fake it till you become it. Because your body is listening to your mind. And your mind is listening to your body. Two minutes. Try it. Come across as the best version of yourself.
