20. Amy Cuddy — Your Body Language May Shape Who You Are
Social psychologist Amy Cuddy explores body language, confidence and the relationship between physical posture and psychological experience.

TED's famous phrase “Ideas Worth Spreading” captures something important: knowledge becomes even more valuable when it moves between people, disciplines and cultures.
A talk about artificial intelligence may lead us to philosophy. A discussion about space may lead us back to Earth. A lesson about psychology may change how we communicate with another person. And a story about creativity may inspire someone to begin making something they have dreamed about for years.
Perhaps that is one of the most beautiful things about learning: one idea rarely remains alone. It connects with another idea, which connects with another, until our understanding of the world becomes a little larger.
