Publisher's summary

If you are looking to gain knowledge on one of the most highly diagnosed anxiety disorders in the mental health field, Social Anxiety: How to Exorcise Your Social Demons is the book that you have been looking for.

Social Anxiety Disorder or Social Phobia can be recognized early on in life. Children often reveal signs of anxiety at an early stage. The earlier you recognize the symptoms and signs, the earlier you can make positive life changes. Social skills are a learned skill that lead to healthy communication skills; including verbal, non-verbal and assertiveness. Assertiveness is what allows you to get your needs met. This book outlines and offers explanation on how these components all work together.

When someone has reached recognition, it is time to accept and treat. This book promotes ways to accept struggle points and learn to move past them. There are many treatment options available, but the common theme is practice, practice, practice!

Whether you are listening to this as purely informational or you or someone you know might have social anxiety disorder, the information in this book is easy to follow.

Inside you will find

• Symptoms of social anxiety disorder
• Situations that trigger those symptoms
• Information on learning on social skills as a learned skill
• Ways you can recognize and accept social anxiety
• What kind of treatment is available for people with social anxiety
• How to reach your goal of having a "normal" social circle

Understanding yourself is the first step to control. Determine where you are, where you want to be, and find out how to get there.

resoureful book

I've been going over this workbook with my young adult daughter. It's been slow going; however, she is receptive in giving it a try. So far the first chapter is easy to follow. As I have glanced through the rest of the book, it looks like it's easy to follow and perfect for my daughter's issues.

really good

A really great book . The author clearly has gone through the pangs of social anxiety and has come up with a clear and thorough plan on how to rise above it. I highly recommend taking the time to listen it from beginning to end. It's really tempting to skip to the bold action section, but getting to know yourself and accepting yourself first will lift a weight off your shoulders before trying out the final steps in the real world

hihly recommended

This is the best workbook I’ve seen for social anxiety, and I’m looking forward to completing it. The information in the introductory chapters is thorough and helpful. It’s a practical workbook, and I definitely would recommend it to anyone

this book changed my life

It produced a rapid shift in my life in a short time. It can work for anyone who is willing to take consistent action

five stars

Very very helpful. I just wish I had more courage to start the exercises. But it's all very practical and useful.

Great Tips for Managing Social Anxiety

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.
This book starts by exploring what is or isn't a social anxiety disorder vs what is typical shyness and anxiety. I appreciated that the author didn't claim to solve true social anxiety disorder, and appropriately recommended that those with severe social anxiety seek professional help.
This handy guide provides some great practical tips for managing general social anxiety, with real world examples of how to apply those tips. The narrator and author together made the material easy to understand, and interesting. I know I will refer back to this book in the future to help manage social situations that arise in the future.

four stars

I bought this book as I was hoping it would help me improve my assertiveness and make me slightly more extroverted or expressing myself more comfortably. However, as the title perhaps indicated, it seems to me this workbook is for people who have more serious shyness problems beyond the level of ordinary social awkwardness. I can't judge how good a resource it is for that purpose and therefore I rate it four stars.

useful book

The amount of golden nuggets of advice this book has is amazing, I recommend it to anyone who gets social anxiety

nice book

This is probably the best book I have ever heard! I don't normally write reviews for books even though I listen to a lot of them via Audible. I had to write one for this book however because it is so wel lexplained and has already helped me in my life after listening to it twice. It is narrated by the author. He does a great job narrating. I will listen to this book many more times
