we’re in Sin City
recruiting pairs of unsuspecting
tourists directing one person to strike
a strong powerful pose and the other to
assume an unhappy dejected one after
paying them $50 each we offered them a
chance to either keep their cash or try
to double their money the question is
will they take the risk or play it safe
you can double your money whatever you
like what do you feel any like I think
I’m gonna keep my fifty bucks you’re
gonna keep it it doesn’t look like Kim’s
feeling lucky
well if there’s no such thing as a sure
winner in Las Vegas but this is and her
posing partner Lenny I’m a winner I want
to bet Lenny is confident he can beat
the odds even ready come on come on yes
even guess what yes and in England
that’s worth about two shilling exactly
that’s about it I’ve never gambled in my
life it but today I did feel different I
felt that I wanted to gamble I wanted to
take our jobs we ran the experiment
several times that’s it don’t move
perfect having one person pose boldly
with self-assurance and the other not so
much and over and over the volunteers
who took on strong confident poses were
more likely to feel confident about
their chances of winning I don’t know
that I just kind of felt excited and
confident and happy while the volunteers
who struck sad gloomy poses were less
confident about their chances I’m gonna
click mine in my pocket I’m gonna put in
my pocket just didn’t have the feeling
that I just it wasn’t in me so what’s
going on here Oh steady show your body
can actually play a big part in the
power of positive thinking a commonly
held Theory speculates that putting your
body into wide power pose stimulates
blood flow to the extremities and can
boost levels of testosterone a
confidence hormone while also decreasing
levels of the stress hormone cortisol in
other words the power of positive
posture can lead to positive thinking
which may cause you to re-evaluate how
you carry yourself when it
really counts so the next time you have
a big test a job interview or want to
ask someone out on a date try holding a
power pose beforehand
