TED talks summary - Body language defines who you are!

This is subsequent to me watching the TED talks wherein the lady told that body language defines who you are. She told that there are weak postures and strong postures in the animal kingdom. 
A strong posture is where you stretch your hand wide as in the expression when you win some thing. It goes on with the phrase, I am King. All postures where you occupy more area is called a strong posture. Keeping your leg on another leg. Stretch your hand over the next chair etc are examples of strong poses. 
The weak ones are the exact opposite. Your fold your hands, bow your face and tend to occupy less space. This happens when you are attending an interview where you are keeping your head low referring to your iPhone or to the notes you have prepared for the interview. Rather  you should be in toilet stretching your hand and feeling the happiness. She tells that when ever you take a dominant pose, your testosterone hormone level increases and she showed this with examples. She also advices to fake it till you make it. There are several things in the past where you have faked it and got it. Like having a strong eye contact. The ability to speak more.  Make a strong body posture and show that you dominate. Make it a part of your life.
