Can you really fake it until you make it?
YAWYA proposes a potential revolutionary new health trend by asking what influences us more, our minds or our bodies. What has a greater effect, thinking positive or acting positive? Will smiling make you happier? Will changing your posture make you more confident? Will acting in love save your relationship?
Albert Nerenberg Power Posing
YAWYA speaks to the worlds leading psychologists in embodied cognition including George Lakeoff, Paul Ekman, Philip Zimbardo & Amy Cuddy, while tossing in a curve ball to demonstrate that all of these “psychological” exercises are actually things learned in elementary theatre class. Is acting the next transformational modality?
