Product Description
Even though statisticians report that more than 37 million Americans suffer from diagnosable social phobia, common sense suggests that nearly all of us have, at one time or another, had clammy palms and knocking knees because of an intimidating, uncomfortable social situation.

10 Simple Solutions to Shyness: How to Overcome Shyness, Social Anxiety & Fear of Public Speaking
{ 3 comments… read them below or add one }
I found this book and thought it would be the perfect reader to help me out without needing to wade through lots of information. I was wrong. Covering things such as cognitive distortions and medication, this book didn’t tell me how to overcome shyness. If you’re looking for some help in those agonizing social situations, I wouldn’t let the simplistic appearance of this book fool you. True, it offers some very helpful information, but not anything you can’t read elsewhere.
Rating: 3 / 5
I’ve suffered from social anxiety for years, and have found many ways to avoid it.
My therapist recommended this book, and I have found it to be insightful, direct, and immediately helpful.
As with most books that deal with social anxiety, your progress towards alleviating that anxiety is really dependent upon the work that you are willing to do to complete the exercises that are outlined in the book.
I’m just getting started myself, but already I have a more hopeful outlook on being able to just be myself and accept what happens as I put myself “out there” in engaging in social situations.
I hope you find this book just as motivational.

I found the condition of both books excellent. The second was particularly relevant to what I was doing, although I did get some ideas from the first.
I needed the books urgently and they were out of print in Australia, so I cheerfully bore the cost of the exchange rate and shipping. The books arived in good time.
