Amy Cuddy| Fake it til you Become it, Power Posing

Talks Speakers Playlists Translations TED Conferences TEDx Events TED Prize TED Fellows TED Conversations TED Community TED-Ed About TED TED Blog TED Initiatives Search Speakers Amy Cuddy: Social Psychologist Amy Cuddy's research on body language reveals that we can change other people's perceptions — and even our own body chemistry — simply by changing body positions. Why you should listen to her: Amy Cuddy wasn't supposed to become a successful scientist. In fact, she wasn't even supposed to finish her undergraduate degree. Early in her college career, Cuddy suffered a severe head injury in a car accident, and doctors said she would struggle to fully regain her mental capacity and finish her undergraduate degree. But she proved them wrong. Today, Cuddy is a professor and researcher at Harvard Business School , where she studies how nonverbal behavior and snap judgments affect people fr...

`Abdu'l-Bahá| Where there is love, nothing is too much trouble, and there is always time.

Posted on Lavezzo's Blog, July 17, 2009 "Where there is love, nothing is too much trouble, and there is always time." – Attributed to `Abdu'l-Baha The extract you mention is a variation of a pilgrim's note. ...now it's quoted by many, including a great song by Conrad Lambert .

(This vine yields seven crops of grapes every year, and these particular grapes were the seventh yield.) His constant shower of material and spiritual favors cause...

The Marriage of Shoghi Effendi with Amatu’l-Bahá Ruhiyyih Khanum

The Marriage of Shoghi Effendi – recalled by his wife Amatu’l-Bahá Ruhiyyih Khanum (nee, Mary Maxwell) in The Priceless Pearl (taken from Baha'i Stories ) The marriage of Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Baha’i Faith, with Mary Maxwell of Canada (later to be known as Amatu’l-Bahá Ruhiyyih Khanum - which means: Maidservant of Bahá, Lady Ruhiyyih) took place on 25 March 1937 in Haifa, Israel. Many years later in her book about Shoghi Effendi, ‘The Priceless Pearl’, Ruhiyyih Khanum describes the circumstances surrounding her wedding and help us appreciate the incredible simplicity of the event - reminiscent of the simplicity of 'Abdu'l-Bahá's own marriage in the prison-city of 'Akká – and its thought-provoking example to Bahá'ís everywhere: No one, with the exception of his parents, my parents and a brother and two sisters of his living in Haifa, knew it was to take place. He felt strongly urged to keep it a secret, knowing from past experience how much tr...
