Publisher's Synopsis
Around the world, a swelling tide of people are discovering an astonishing, life-altering truth about the relationship between their mind and their body. This book tells their extraordinary stories, revealing how an anxious PhD student built his confidence by changing his workout, how back exercises helped a woman negotiate a fix to a botched home repair, how a Microsoft executive grew credibility by shifting her stance, and how an executive team led their company to a 30% increase in valuation by dancing together.In this timely and engaging book, Amanda Blake synthesizes research from over two dozen scientific fields to reveal how listeners can align their daily activities with a deeper sense of meaning and purpose, shatter limitations that have been immune to the power of positive thinking, create better relationships at work and at home, turn conflict into opportunity, become more relaxed, confident, and at ease in high-pressure situations, and more. This is powerful applied mind-body science, in the workplace and beyond. Tap the intelligence hidden in posture, gesture, and sensation, and open the door to more meaning, greater courage, deeper connection, and more powerful leadership than previously imaginable.
