High school me would have benefited the most

… but as a married adult, I still got something out of it.

Framed by the author’s personal journey, this book provides a solid introductory overview of the factors that play in to shyness, and suggests a number of step-by-step ways to overcome them. It provides a good jumping off point to help readers identify their primary internal contributors to shyness and social awkwardness, whether that is social anxiety, negative internal dialogue, simple lack of social skills or one of a number of other obstacles.

Social skills can be LEARNED, and confidence comes with knowledge and practice. The more social confidence coming from experience one has, the less of an issue shyness becomes. Skills covered include active listening, visible empathy, networking, and more. The emphasis is on providing concrete steps that the reader can use to incrementally expand their comfort zone at their own pace. The author provides a selection of tips and techniques that the reader can pick and choose from to find what works best for them.

I personally tend to find the affirmations in many self-help books to be laid on so thick they become cloying and off-putting, and this book does have some of that, but it’s not nearly as extreme as in some other volumes. I appreciated the emphasis on self-improvement and internally reframing one’s deficiencies and lack of particular skills as a work in progress, rather than unconditional self-affirmations (too much self-affirmation/self-love in these books tends to raise red flags with me). I also appreciated the specific citations to publicly-available scientific sources.

The overall length of the book limits the depth in which any single subject is treated, but it provides a good broad overview that gives readers the tools they need to fix the minor stuff and identify their own specific areas that need more extensive work so they can identify and follow up on more specific areas of inquiry.
