Up-to-date, practical information.,

This review is from: Painfully Shy: How to Overcome Social Anxiety and Reclaim Your Life (Hardcover)
A tremendous amount of research has been done on anxiety disorders in the last fifteen years. Researchers have discovered a lot about what causes it and what can be done about it, and in this book you'll find the latest information.Social anxiety disorder is most common anxiety disorder and the third most common psychiatric disorder over all (behind depression and alcoholism). If it's so common, why haven't we heard much about it? Because the nature of the problem keeps it hidden. “Can you see a movie-of-the-week,” says psychologist Thomas Richards, “about a very shy person who rarely leaves the house except to go to work, who has no friends, and is afraid of answering the door at times?” Who would watch a movie like that? The authors of Painfully Shy said that after their first book (Dying of Embarrassment) was published, a television talk show called them and said, “We want you on our show if you can bring several articulate, outgoing social phobics with you.” What the heck were they thinking? Social anxiety disorder doesn't get much coverage because anyone with the problem is trying to avoid the public eye. But this book brings social anxiety into the light. Anxious thoughts and feelings CAN be managed successfully, and this book will show you how. I'm the author of the book, Self-Help Stuff That Works, and if you want practical, helpful advice that will really work to overcome your shyness, I highly recommend Painfully Shy.

Just missing the "magic".,

This review is from: Painfully Shy: How to Overcome Social Anxiety and Reclaim Your Life (Paperback)
This book has some good ideas, but is also lacking in quantity of sound advice. I feel it could be re-written into something half the size. I'm looking at "Transforming Anxiety" by Doc Childre and Deborah Rozman next, because this book didn't help me.

uninspiring,
By A Customer
This review is from: Painfully Shy: How to Overcome Social Anxiety and Reclaim Your Life (Paperback)
I found this book a bit of a disappointment. There was not enough practical advise and was not clear or concise enough. The tone was somehow dispiriting. There were good tips, but not enough to justify such a long and weighty volume. Perhaps I have been over-exposed to cognitive-behavioural therapy techniques/exercises, and for this reason found it to be a bit stale.
