Excellent book, written by top researchers in the field

This book was written under the guidance of Michael Liebowitz - the leading expert on social anxiety disorder. The book is well organized, well written, and highly informative. I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in the subject.

Wonderful insight into the types and causes of shyness

This book provides an outstanding reference to shyness in various social situations and dives into facinating scientific and biological detail on why shyness occurs. A definate read for anyone who not only wants to overcome shyness but wants to learn more about its evolutionary origins.

very informative and thorough

this book was so thorough in describing every aspect of social anxiety. I was able to identify what used to be a problem without a name for me that tormented me all my life when I read this book.

great book

This book is well organized and has great deal of information about shyness in psychological/ biologicaal and evolutionary aspects. I don't know whether or not it will help you motivate overcome a person's shyness but good book to read to learn about shyness.

If anyone is faced with a problem of shyness, I recommend this book highly!! I couldn't put it down, and it has helped dramatically with my fear of blushing and public speaking. OUTSTANDING!!!!
