身体改变心理，能量姿势如何让人快速调整到最佳状态
哈佛大学社会心理学家近10年科学研究成果，关于自我管理的科学方法
你是否遇到过这样的场景：因为压力大而无法轻松完成工作任务，感到碌碌无为；因为过度紧张在面试和提案中表现不佳，事后后悔；因为自信心不足在社交活动中“尬聊”，显得无趣。其实，这些都是肢体语言可以解决的问题，是比语言更有效的沟通方式。因为身体可以改变我们的心理，心理可以改变行为，而行为最终可以改变做事的结果。
社会心理学家、哈佛大学商学院教授埃米•卡迪在大学期间经历过一次严重的车祸，大脑受到严重损伤，但她并未因此而困扰，而是开始研究非语言行为的影响力。她发现，动作和情绪有着直接的关系，肢体语言影响着我们的大脑和心理。改变姿势可以改变我们的内分泌脑神经的状态，比如，“高能量姿势”——像“神奇女侠”一样，以一个自信的、扩展性的姿势站着，可以增加体内的“优势激素”睾丸素浓度，同时降低压力荷尔蒙皮质醇浓度，这会对我们的情绪、思维和状态产生正面影响，甚至可以提高成功率，而仅仅2分钟就可以获得正反馈和积极能量。
当你面临有挑战的环境和复杂的任务时，使用“高能量姿势”迅速调整到好的状态，更有信心地表达观点，更有效地解决问题，管理焦虑，掌控局面。通过刻意的改变，会带来真实的改变，2分钟就可以带给你意想不到的助推，轻松打造个人影响力。
Have you ever left a nerve-racking challenge and immediately wished for a do over? Maybe after a job interview, a performance, or a difficult conversation? The very moments that require us to be genuine and commanding can instead cause us to feel phony and powerless. Too often we approach our lives’ biggest hurdles with dread, execute them with anxiety, and leave them with regret.
By accessing our personal power, we can achieve “presence,” the state in which we stop worrying about the impression we’re making on others and instead adjust the impression we’ve been making on ourselves. As Harvard professor Amy Cuddy’s revolutionary book reveals, we don’t need to embark on a grand spiritual quest or complete an inner transformation to harness the power of presence. Instead, we need to nudge ourselves, moment by moment, by tweaking our body language, behavior, and mind-set in our day-to-day lives.
Amy Cuddy has galvanized tens of millions of viewers around the world with her TED talk about “power poses.” Now she presents the enthralling science underlying these and many other fascinating body-mind effects, and teaches us how to use simple techniques to liberate ourselves from fear in high-pressure moments, perform at our best, and connect with and empower others to do the same.
Brilliantly researched, impassioned, and accessible, Presence is filled with stories of individuals who learned how to flourish during the stressful moments that once terrified them. Every reader will learn how to approach their biggest challenges with confidence instead of dread, and to leave them with satisfaction instead of regret.
