Around the world, a swelling tide of people are discovering an astonishing, life-altering truth. This book tells their extraordinary stories:

  • an anxious PhD student builds his confidence by changing his workout
  • back exercises help one woman negotiate a fix to a botched home repair
  • a Microsoft executive grows credibility by shifting her stance
  • an executive team leads 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 into an accessible approach to embodying your best self:

  • align your daily activities with a deeper sense of meaning and purpose
  • become more relaxed, confident, and at ease in high-pressure situations
  • shatter limitations that have been immune to “the power of positive thinking”
  • create better relationships at work and at home
  • turn conflict into opportunity

… and many more valuable skills that will enable you to contribute, succeed, and enjoy life at the highest levels. Strengthen your social and emotional intelligence by cultivating your innate somatic intelligence. This is powerful applied mind-body science, in the workplace and beyond.
