In the TED talk below social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how “power posing” — standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident — can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and might even have an impact on our chances for success.

Spend time with people who are smart, driven and like-minded. Relationships should help you not hurt you. Surround yourself with people who reflect how you want to be.
