This book is life changing and I recommend it to all of my clients – even the ones who don’t think they’re shy!”- Dr. Landon Berger, Founder of Portland Positive PsychologyFrom the AuthorI am glad you have come across this book. If you are suffering or struggling in your life right now, I understand. I spent many years stuck in a place of debilitating shyness that prevented me from speaking up, meeting people, going on dates, and having satisfying relationships. I know the pain of this shyness in a very deep and intimate way.The worst part about this shyness was not that I couldn’t go after what I wanted in my life. It wasn’t that I felt nervous and tense in my body much of the time. It wasn’t even that I was unable to bring myself to ask women out or date because of my intense fear of rejection. All of these aspects of my shyness were very painful and I struggled with each of them, but the worst part about it was that I believed I was going to be stuck like this forever.I saw other guys, including friends of mine, who were somehow able to do what I could not. They would make jokes, speak up in groups, and flirt with women. I saw myself as somehow different, or less than they were. This gap between them and me seemed like an insurmountable chasm, leaving me on the outskirts forever.If you relate to these struggles, and you fear that things might not change, I am especially glad you found this book. It is essentially written to a version of myself from 15 years ago. In it I am sharing everything I have learned about how to break free from the confines of fear and anxiety that held me back.I have applied everything you will read in this book either on myself or with one of the hundreds of men I have worked with over the last decade. It is my sincerest hope that these ideas, exercises, tools, and tips help you realize something that shifted my life forever–that you are notstuck this way, that it is entirely possible to find a well of courage inside of your heart that will drive you to overcome the challenges you are facing. It will drive you to face your fears, rejection, and failure in order to create the friendships, career, relationships, and life you truly want. As you do this, you will see just how much of your social anxiety was based on old, inaccurate stories and ideas about yourself. You will start to see the truth about yourself–who you are, and what you have to offer the world–and life will start to look a lot brighter.I wish you good luck on this journey, and I am excited to be with you along the way.File Size: 6818 KBPrint Length: 232 pagesSimultaneous Device Usage: UnlimitedPublisher: The Center For Social Confidence (September 12, 2013)http://www.amazon.com/Solution-Social-Anxiety-Break-Shyness-…Audio Here:
