Gillian Butler: Overcoming Social Anxiety and Shyness (Overcoming) (Paperback, 1999, Constable and Robinson) 3 stars

Review of 'Overcoming Social Anxiety and Shyness (Overcoming)' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Social anxiety and shyness is different for everyone, and Gillian covers many different causes and triggers that you might experience. Things you might never have thought of, like your own safety behaviors and inward attention are very helpful at getting a handle on your personal situation. With step-by-step guidance, you'll learn to change your thinking patterns, do things differently, reduce self-consciousness, and build self-confidence.

Finding an ebook version took some work. Amazon seems to have the 1st edition only in paperback for $30, and the 2nd edition only in paperback for $17. The rest of Gillian's books are also bizarrely priced, from $0.74-$62. If you search for the title of this book and "epub" you should find some other digital buying options.

Exposure therapy and mediation are good common strategies. I highly recommend the Waking Up app to learn more about both.
