This is a shorter summary video of the full presentation by Amy Cuddy, so if you're interested in seeing the whole thing, look it up. I picked this video because I think nonverbal or body language is certainly a form of language and it also affects the way we behave and even the way we perceive others. What I found the most interesting is that our body language can cause chemical changes in the body that can make us feel a certain way. I thought the information was really cool. I don't know if this is true, simply because I haven't ever thought to pose a certain way to improve my attitude or behavior but it will certainly be something I think about after seeing this lecture. I know I'm going to watch the full lecture at my first opportunity to learn more, because I found that the video had fresh information in it that I had not heard before. If everyone posed a certain way to elevate their mood, the world might be a happier place, who knows?

Non-verbal queues and motions are something almost everyone can understand. A smile, perhaps, means an expression of happiness in nearly every culture. It's crazy how instinctual and primal some of our non-verbal language communicates at times. Thank you for sharing!
