As Cuddy’s website reports, she got a PhD from Princeton University in 2005 and went on to work as a full-time professor at a few prestigious universities such as Rutgers, Harvard and Northwestern. She wrote a New York Times bestselling book, Presence, and is coming out with another book in 2027 about adult bullying. Overall, her work revolves around “stereotyping and prejudice, nonverbal behavior,” along with “presence and performance under stress,” per her website.

Quote of the Day by Amy Cuddy

Cuddy wrote this quote in her 2015 book, Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges. The opening line of this book’s description reads, “Learn the simple techniques you'll need to approach your biggest challenges with confidence.”
In addition to this book, Cuddy’s 2012 TED Talk, “Your body language may shape who you are”—the third most-viewed TED Talk of all time, per her website—introduces the concept of “power posing,” which she also references in her book. She argues that, in the same way that body language can often tell a lot about a person, it can also influence how others perceive you. "Power poses" are her “free no-tech life hack"; she theorizes that changing your pose into a strong one can impact how confident you appear, and therefore how confident you end up feeling.
While similar or in a similar vein to each other, confidence and arrogance are two very different things. Having confidence in yourself is about being sure of your abilities, being happy with your appearance or proud of your skills. Arrogance comes with a pompous air about it; you think you're better than others.
So what Cuddy is saying here is that if you’re actually a confident person, you are self-assured in a positive way and you have faith in yourself. And true certainty in yourself does not include arrogance, because that’s not actually confidence. As her quote says, arrogance is all a show; it’s a way to fake that certainty.
