Presence
MORE THAN HALF A MILLION COPIES SOLD: Learn the simple techniques you'll need to approach your biggest challenges with confidence. 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."Presence feels at once concrete and inspiring, simple but ambitious — above all, truly powerful." —New York Times Book Review

Without Saying a Word
One wrong move can undercut your message. Believe it or not, our bodies speak louder than our words.Postures, gestures, and expressions convey reams of information—and often not what you’d expect. A smile, for example, is usually considered welcoming. However, crook one corner of your mouth higher and you project superiority, subconsciously chasing other people away.This book explains how even the subtlest motions have meaning. Distilling decades of research, Without Saying a Word deciphers these unspoken signals:facial expressions,fleeting micro expressions,positive body language,negative body language,And much more!Discover which postures and gestures indicate confidence and build rapport—and which reveal disinterest, arrogance, or even aggression. Learn to end off-putting habits, accentuate good ones, and become an authentic and effective communicator.Exhibiting body language that is open, honest, and self-assured increases your social influence and enhances your skill as a negotiator while the ability to read the emotions and intentions of others is equally indispensable. Whether you’re making a presentation, pitching a project, or closing a deal, the right body language can be your best ally.

If you ask yourself these questions, the answer is: The Art of Psychological Warfare. Psychological warfare has existed since the beginning of time. Ancient documents such as The Art of War by Sun Tzu or historical people such as Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan and Niccolò Machiavelli are examples of people who understood the timelessness of military and psychological strategies. With the progress of time, up to the present day, the art of war has become increasingly subtle and difficult to identify. Since the mid-twentieth century, great advances in our knowledge of the most effective methods of mass communication and persuasion have been visible in a wide range of professional fields, including journalism, marketing, public relations, interrogation and public opinion studies. However, these successes have also had troubling implications: propaganda, subversion, intimidation, disinformation, large-scale lies, deception, counter-insurgency, brainwashing and manipulation of public opinion in which our individual freedom of thought is constantly under attack. This manual provides a cutting-edge distillation of some of the most influential concepts of dark psychology, techniques honed over the centuries by politicians, strategists, speakers, performers and sellers around the world.This manual can be in your hands. But use it with diligence. Here are some areas that you will discover within The Art of Psychological Warfare: - What Sun Tzu and Machiavelli can teach you to destroy your enemies.- How to spot dark personalities and how to defend yourself from their influence.- The psychology of deception, influence and domination.- The art of blackmail and manipulation.- How brainwashing works in sects, organisations and brands.- How political propaganda and media tactics manage to do what they want with the masses.- The art of war applicable to work, relationships and the business world. This book is not a joke. Like it or not, ‘out there’, there will always be people who will try to hurt you or try to use you for their own pleasure or benefit.You are not the only person with access to psychological warfare methods. If you don't already know it, chances are you are a lifelong victim.In this book, the author studies the various forms of psychological warfare, the dark personalities, the key elements of this PsyWar and, most importantly, how we can fight back and win. It is, without doubt, the best gift you can give to yourself. The principles in this book are not hype, they have survived through the ages and will continue long into the future. After reading this book, you will never be the same again.
