About the Book

We're all shy at some stage, but some people are imprisoned by their shyness. They want to be confident and competent in their social relationships - they want to feel more comfortable. Conquering Shyness will help you to be more confident and relaxed in your relationships with others. Based upon wide ranging research, it draws upon the experiences of hundreds of people who participated in shyness treatment programs. Shy people learned to challenge their negative thoughts and acquire new skills, and then stepped out of their shells into a more confident and socially rewarding life. If shyness has been a problem for you, read this book, practise the exercises and then take those crucial steps to meet new people, maintain social conversations and expand your social life. There's always a risk involved - but taking reasonable risks makes life more rewarding, especially if you are well prepared. Reading this book is your first step. Dr Fred Orr is Head of the Counselling Service at the University of New South Wales, and has conducted extensive research into shyness. Through his bestselling books such as How to Pass Exams, Study Skills for Successful Students and How to Succeed at Work, he has helped tens of thousands of readers develop a wide range of skills.
