Sharp focus on Social Anxiety

If you are sure that your only problem is social anxiety, than it is great book with a sharp focus on this topic. If you would like to receive a more general guide about your psychological problems (maybe you have not read anything in this genre yet) then I would recommend The Feeling Good Handbook. After that you will see if you need to study more and read this book.

Really Helpful Book

I haven't read other books on social anxiety, but I have read a number of books on anxiety disorders. This book is so helpful to me - it's practical and realistic. The author totally gets social anxiety - the causes, beliefs, behaviors, and effects - and suggests cognitive behavioral techniques to address and ultimately minimize the anxiety. It's a comforting relief to have someone understand, explain, and help resolve something that can sometimes be so difficult to live with.
