Presence

I like the material. However, I don't like the presentation. I wish the author emphasized the points she made, rather than the research she did. I felt worn down by the steady drumbeat of “in a recent research study, ...” and eventually put the book down.

Some really interesting insights in this book about the correlation between our physical posture and confidence (increasing Testosterone by 20% and reducing Cortisol by 20%).

Bien qu'il soit assez intéressant, ce livre n'apporte pas non plus des choses complètement nouvelles à la table. Le Ted Talk en soit était largement suffisant, ce livre ne faisant qu'apporter les rapports des études scientifiques par rapport à ce qui était développé dedans. Cependant les témoignages le rendent poignant et suffisamment intéressant que pour le terminer une fois commencé.


“Presence stems from believing our own stories. When we don't believe our stories, we are inauthentic—we are deceiving, in a way, both ourselves and others.”
