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. The party where you don’t know a single soul, the crowded lobby of a movie theatre, the presentation you’ve been dreading for weeks—any of these have the potential to ruin your week without necessarily sending you to the psychiatrist’s couch. The ten simple exercises in this book help readers shed their shyness and start socializing with confidence and élan. The book examines shyness by symptoms: physical discomfort, anxious thoughts, and bothersome behaviors. Solutions—based in clinically proven cognitive behavioral therapy—follow, directly addressing all three. Readers can carry the book in a briefcase or purse for last minute support and extra confidence. Once the ten simple solutions are learned, they will be constant companions, providing courage, poise, and composure when readers need them most. |

Re the book on shyness and the one on "Clear Speech" by Mrs. Patricia Bryan (Sunbury. Victoria. Australia)  4 Stars
August 28, 2005
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.

Simple, But Unoriginal by Deaf Writer (Grand Rapids, MI United States)  3 Stars
May 01, 2005
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.

A Powerfully Simple Approach to Shyness by Michael S. (Boston, MA USA)  5 Stars
October 19, 2004
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.
