2.0 out of 5 stars Outdated, 27 Jul 1999

By A Customer

Philip G. Zambardo obviously wrote this book for the 70s generation. A lot of the theories that he offers about shyness have not stood the test of time. His self-help methods are overly simplistic, and he doesn't really have a handle on how shyness affects people. Especially disturbing is his praise of Synanon, a 70s cult that eventually became mired in controversy over forced vasectomies, beatings, and attempted murder. Very little to offer to the modern reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good book with a lot of scientific facts., 7 Sep 1998

By A Customer

I liked this book very much. (1) It is written by a Stanford professor who has a Shyness clinic. (2) He gives a lot of scientific facts, examples, &various peoples' quotes. His approach is good for different levels of shyness (extreme shyness too). Finally he gives some exercises to start working on for building a social skills toolset (from greeting people, striking up a conversation with someone you don't know, asking a question, etc.
