Publisher's Summary

The number of people with some form of shyness has increased, and research now suggests that up to 50% of people experience shyness or social anxiety. This fascinating exploration of evolutionary psychology and the brain aims to show that shyness and introversion is a naturally evolved human trait and that shyness; rather than being a problem should be celebrated as the gift it is.

Topics include:

  • Ways to increase self-confidence and self-esteem
  • Body language
  • Practical ways to overcome shyness in social situations
  • Techniques to cope with social anxiety, including behavioural therapy
  • Tips for meeting and interacting with new people
  • How to have a successful conversation
  • Finding a romantic partner

In this warm and comprehensive guide, Ruth Searle PhD, biologist, writer and former nurse, shows that being shy can be something to enjoy rather than to fear.
