Happy Friday! Here are 5 resources, articles, etc. I am enjoying this week!
Power Posing Problems?
Last week, I sent out Amy Cuddy’s influential TED talk about power posing. It seems that there may be issues with replicating the data, as an astute reader pointed out to me (thanks Chris!). I don’t know if it’s fair to discredit Dr. Cuddy’s work, but you should at least know there are opposing opinions.

“Allowing people with disabilities to show that they’re not disabled, they’re actually super able”. A drummer is at the forefront of bionic technology being created for amputees. Check this out and be inspired.
Nothing Compares 2 Prince
Did you know Prince wrote Sinead O’connor’s hit “Nothing Compares 2 U”? He also had the most impressive frontman moves ever, and you should watch THIS.
