Unabridged Audiobook
I love the way the author asked questions and answered them, created a personal feeling and an interactive book that anyone could relate with. The first time I read the book I felt the author was speaking to me.
In this book, the author points out that Social Anxiety is on the rise and manifests on a spectrum ranging from awkward feelings to panic attacks to depression, and she discusses how our current digital and social media lifestyle contributes substantially to this phenomenon.
I am finding myself avoiding social situations less and finding it easier (altho i still have a while to go) to strike up conversations with strangers, talk on the phone, attend social gatherings etc etc, all of which were once impossible.
Finally something with straight forward advice that immediately started to make me feel better. Social anxiety is a horrific thing, do something about it. Really recommend this book to anyone going thru this
While this book specifically addresses Social Anxiety, the whys, wherefores and what-to-do-about-it can be used to battle ANY type of anxiety. So no matter where you are on the anxiety spectrum, this book is for you.
My favorite parts of this book focus around how to understand your anxiety…becoming curious about it…and redirecting it through self-inquiry. I love the questions she says to ask of yourself!

With guide from this book, I made a list of things that scare me (cause mu anxiety and fear) and a list of manifestations of that fear. Once I put everything on paper, I realized that I have nothing to fear about. It became a lot easier after that.
I’ve read several self-help books, I even visited psychiatrist, to no avail. Why? Because no one pointed out that the problem was me. Every book was protective and patronizing, and did mention one simple truth, I have to change
The first time I read the book I felt the author was speaking to me. The book is pure reality written down as it is. The author’s explanations of the causes, triggers and side effects of social anxiety swiftly cured my anxiety as I read through.
