Resumen del Editor

Does it sometimes feel like your anxiety is controlling your whole life? It's time to get back in the driving seat and show it who's really in charge....

Estimates suggest that more than 12 percent of people live with a social anxiety disorder at some stage. If it affects you, you’re in good company—Adele, Missy Elliot, and Taylor Swift are just a handful of celebrities who have spoken out about their own experiences with it.

But when you’re experiencing anxiety yourself, it probably feels like you’re the only one in the world. Life is filled with triggers for social anxiety, and it’s virtually impossible to navigate daily life without running into them. And it’s far more than simply being shy. If you’ve ever wondered whether you might have it, you need only assess your symptoms to discover the truth behind what’s really happening to you.

Does your heart rate elevate in public situations? Do you tend to blush, sweat, or shake in highly social moments? Are you ever overpowered by a feeling of self-consciousness or the fear that you’re being judged? All these uncomfortable feelings are classic signs of social anxiety...and if you find yourself avoiding social situations altogether, you know it’s definitely time to address the problem.

But where do you start when you’re permanently exhausted by the amount of energy and courage it takes to navigate daily life? Every answer you need is contained within this sympathetic guide. Inside, you’ll discover:

• A comprehensive insight into the symptoms (complete with relatable anecdotes)
• Where anxiety intersects with other conditions.... Are you more at risk?
• The natural reason for your anxiety (Understand the logic behind where your fear comes from)
• The triggers and traumas that can ignite social anxiety–so you can address the root cause
• Exactly how you can foster a sense of calm within yourself

A Prescription for Overcoming Social Anxiety

As someone who does not suffer from social anxiety but does have a couple sufferers in my family, this guide is a Godsend.  The in-depth overview of things I never considered as triggers for anxiety was very enlightening and is going to help build my compassion and empathy for sufferers' struggles.
