Research shows that emotional and social intelligence sets the successful and satisfied apart from the frustrated and struggling. But few people realize these essential competencies emerge from our somatic – or embodied – intelligence. That’s great news because it offers a concrete, actionable path to embody vital life skills. Amanda Blake's research shows us how -- just as we can build bigger biceps by lifting weights -- we can train for greater resilience, better communication, and more influential leadership by tapping the body's intelligence. Explore the underlying neurobiology and learn how to apply the research insights for powerfully positive results.
