The Power of a Smile by Ron Gutman

Here is an enlightening look at the power of a smile by Ron Gutman, founder and CEO of HealthTap.
He also serves as the Curator of TEDxSilicon Valley.  This column was adopted from a presentation at the most recent TED conference.

"I found a simple and surprisingly powerful way to significantly improve my own life and the lives of others. So now, whenever you want to look great and competent, improve your marriage, or reduce your stress…or whenever you want to feel as good as when you’ve enjoyed a stack of high quality chocolate without incurring the caloric cost, or as if you randomly found 25 grand in the pocket of a jacket you hadn’t worn for ages…or when you want to tap into a superpower and help yourself and others live longer, healthier happier lives…SMILE."

There is much more about the background to his conclusion. It really is very interesting read it here .
So if you are embarrassed by your smile you may be losing out in more ways than you think.
