Publisher's summary
Social anxiety is the perception that something is wrong with us or that we’re deficient in some way in a group setting. And unless we work hard to conceal that perceived flaw, it will be revealed, and people will judge or reject us for it.
Most of us know what it’s like to have a socially anxious moment now and then. But for millions upon millions of people, at some point in life, social anxiety is so serious that it gets in the way of living the life we want to live. Social anxiety disorder is the third most diagnosed disorder. It shows up in our modern lives in all sorts of ways, from agonizing over how to word a text to deciding whether to go out with our friends versus bailing to stay in and watch TV.
Dr. Ellen Hendriksen has made it her mission to use cutting-edge clinical practices and evidence-based treatments to help hundreds of clients reduce their anxiety. In this Audible Original, Dr. Hendriksen provides tools for dealing with social anxiety in the real world, including confronting the problems of perfectionism and making and deepening friendships. You’ll come away with skills you can use anywhere so you can live the life you want to live, and in the process, realize how amazing you already are.

Story
Up to 40% of people consider themselves shy. You might say you're introverted or awkward, or that you're fine around friends but just can't speak up in a meeting or at a party. Maybe you're usually confident but have recently moved or started a new job, only to feel isolated and unsure. If you get nervous in social situations - meeting your partner's friends, public speaking, standing awkwardly in the elevator with your boss - you've probably been told, "Just be yourself!" But that's easier said than done - especially if you're prone to social anxiety.

Questions like these are essential for anyone building a money-management plan, but they’re less about the line-by-line details of taxes and investment holdings and more about your approach to saving money and spending it—and preparing for the future.

There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life’s big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with listeners, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?

George Orwell depicts a gray, totalitarian world dominated by Big Brother and its vast network of agents, including the Thought Police - a world in which news is manufactured according to the authorities' will and people live tepid lives by rote. Winston Smith, a hero with no heroic qualities, longs only for truth and decency. But living in a social system in which privacy does not exist and where those with unorthodox ideas are brainwashed or put to death, he knows there is no hope for him.

What if charisma could be taught? For the first time, science and technology have taken charisma apart, figured it out and turned it into an applied science: In controlled laboratory experiments, researchers could raise or lower people's level of charisma as if they were turning a dial. What you'll find here is practical magic: unique knowledge, drawn from a variety of sciences, revealing what charisma really is and how it works. You'll get both the insights and the techniques you need to apply this knowledge. The world will become your lab, and every person you meet, a chance to experiment.

Welcome to the summer of 1985 in Philadelphia, when the city was rocked—in almost every sense of the word—by two unprecedented events: Mayor W. Wilson Goode’s May 13 decision to bomb the headquarters of MOVE, a controversial Philadelphia-based radical communal organization, and the July 13 Live Aid concert, where international rock royalty convened in Philly to raise money for victims of the Ethiopian famine. Separated by just two months and eight miles, these events would showcase both the best and the worst of the so-called City of Brotherly Love.

Our mind and our emotions determine our state of being in the present moment. If those aspects are left unchecked, we can get easily overwhelmed and are left feeling unfulfilled every single day.

Models is the first book ever written on seduction as an emotional process rather than a logical one, a process of connecting with women rather than impressing them. It's the most mature and honest guide on how a man can attract women without faking behavior, without lying and without emulating others. A game-changer.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Up to 40% of people consider themselves shy. You might say you're introverted or awkward, or that you're fine around friends but just can't speak up in a meeting or at a party. Maybe you're usually confident but have recently moved or started a new job, only to feel isolated and unsure. If you get nervous in social situations - meeting your partner's friends, public speaking, standing awkwardly in the elevator with your boss - you've probably been told, "Just be yourself!" But that's easier said than done - especially if you're prone to social anxiety.

concise, enjoyable, useful tips
I used to have a lot of social anxiety, now just a bit due to intuitively knowing to challenge myself and think logically in all the ways she suggests. I was curious to hear what someone had to say about it, nevertheless, and found her tips to be great reminders of what has helped me and how i should approach situations that make me anxious. basically, I wish I had this book many years ago, to speed up the process!

good course but a lot of wishful thinking
the course is solid and well-delivered. The content is commonplace but a bit on the wishful thinking side, EG smile, stretch out a hand and the fabulous people in this great world shall meet you halfway. Not so fast. The author seems to presume people "out there" have our best interest at heart, or even care for all that matters. Not so fast. People label and judge all the time, and if we are not Bill Gates, Ron Jeremy and Brad Pitt rolled into one, we have to earn our admission ticket. Then she cites studies, mostly relying on contrived lab conversations with lab assistants disguised as participants hired to chat us up...hmm...not so in the real world. A bit too new age...

I am a middle-aged highly educated successful individual but struggle with social anxiety. This book has concisely pointed out issues that I have had this whole time and thought it was uncommon. This book excellently points out how to overcome these issues. As a result, I attended a social function at work today that I would typically skip. And I ENJOYED IT! THANK YOU for this excellent book!

A Useful Guide to the Problem
I didn’t think I suffered from Social Anxiety when I started reading this Great Courses book. I picked it up because we all know people who suffer from anxiety, and I thought it might be useful in helping them. I was a little surprised to learn that in the long list of things that are included in “social anxiety” I “suffer” from a few of them. My guess is that everyone does. Hopefully knowing this will create empathy for those who are afflicted by these issues to a greater degree than we are.
This book is essentially a self help guide to finding ways to lessen social anxiety. A lot of the solutions come down to understanding that social anxiety is often caused by unrealistically high expectations which a person has for him or herself. At the root of social anxiety is a lack of self-confidence and a plethora of low self-esteem. This is knowledge we can use to help those around us by giving positive esteem-building feedback and being very patient with their fears.

It was short and incredibly helpful
I was anxious about starting a new lab course in university where I didn't know anyone. Now, I'm able to chat with almost everyone in my class and already have two lab partners to work with for the semester. This gave me realistic tools to work through my social anxiety. I'd recommend it.
