We were shown the TED talk on our first "Professional Communication" class this week. It sounded like placebo from the get-go (like the majority of the most-viewed TED talks). But hey, who am I to question a Harvard professor? Thankfully, someone else did.

The thing is, placebo is actually extremely effective... so if you believe power poses are really helping, they probably are! Same with the power of prayer, or voodoo dolls, or whatever...
