Solitary Lives 100 WAYS TO OVERCOME SHYNESS
Statistics show that people who live solitary lives don’t live as long as those who enjoy deep and meaningful connections with family and friends. Each step you take to vanquish the fear holding you back will add more years to your life—and perhaps, more life to your years.
Seasoned psychology experts, Dr. Barton Goldsmith and Marlena Hunter, MA, hope to give the gift of human interaction in their new book, 100 WAYS TO OVERCOME SHYNESS: Go From Self-Conscious to Self-Confident (Career Press, August 2015).
100 WAYS TO OVERCOME SHYNESS is a powerful collection of useful information, case studies, and exercises on how to manage your shyness so you can communicate with people you don’t know very well (or at all) in a wide range of personal and professional settings and circumstances.
Easy-to-use conversation starters are interspersed with lists and exercises throughout 100 WAYS TO OVERCOME SHYNESS. There are also chapters on getting out of awkward conversations graciously, plus valuable tips and insights for those with social anxiety or on the Autism spectrum, on how to deal with their particular type of shyness. Each chapter contains talking points to give you springboards for discussion.
100 WAYS TO OVERCOME SHYNESS will show you how to:
Feel more comfortable at parties, meetings, and group gatherings,
Navigate your way through awkward situations,
Deal positively with the fear of rejection,
Communicate more effectively at work and in your daily life,
Handle arguments and other emotional situations,
Deal effectively with difficult people.
If you feel your shyness has held you back and prevented you from living a full life, 100 WAYS TO OVERCOME SHYNESS will give you the tools you need to change your life, once and for all.
