This is another excellent book by Leil Lowndes. As a shy person myself it was nice to know that I wasn't the only one who felt this way. The book offers 85 practical things to do to triumph over the shyness bug such as asking yourself 'what do I think of them' rather than 'what do they think of me'. There was an exercise in the book about checking out your own smile, I did this is the mirror and was surprised to learn that what I thought was a beaming smile looked like a half hearted smile, I changed this and found that at work I got a lot more warmer response from others. The exercises are realistic and some can be done with ease while others some practice but that's half the fun. I also brought this book because it contains answers to questions such as should I tell other people I'm shy? , Can people tell i'm shy?, Born shy? And eye contact made easy, including many more. I would definitely recommend it.
