Reseña del editor:

Social anxiety is a disabling condition affecting 10 million Americans who fear being embarrassed in public. The toll on thier professional and personal lives is enormous. People with social anxiety - social phobia - are often too terrified to answer questions in public or too timid to defend their own ideas. And they have difficulty making friends, dating and forming relationships, which puts them at risk for loneliness and depression. In fact, one in 20 people suffers from this debilitating shyness. This text is written by two experts in the field of social phobia. In addition to offering information on where and how to seek professional help the book also presents pointers that those who suffer from shyness can begin to implement immediately to help them overcome their phobia. These strategies include ending mental put-downs by learning to replace statements like "I shouldn't have said that, everyone will think I'm an idiot" with positive self-talk, "No harm done, the remark just showed I was being friendly". Endorsed by the American Association of Anxiety Disorders, this book aims to help readers overcome the fear and anxiety felt in social situations and how to lead fuller, more rewarding lives both professionaly and personally.
