A helpful workbood

This workbook is a great resource! It is great that the authors, who are published researchers in the area of social anxiety, can describe their methods in an easy to read, easy to follow workbook. I especially found the section on getting to know your social anxiety helpful in breaking down something broad and formless (shyness) into a road map for making change. If you are serious about making some changes in your life with regard to shyness and social avoidance, I highly recommend this book.

An Excellent Resource!!

A truly excellent resource! This book is full of valuable exercises for challenging the irrational thoughts and avoidance behaviors that fuel social anxiety. I particularly appreciated the creative examples of how one can confront and overcome social and performance fears in a gradual and manageable fashion. Of all of the resources that I've come across to date, this book has been the most helpful to me in terms of offering realistic and practical strategies!

A great help!

I have been a shy and anxious person for years. I recently started a job that requires me to speak up in meetings and even do some public speaking. These are things I have always avoided...but this was a job I really wanted. Antony & Swinson's book has been a huge help to me. I've found the exercises and tips to be very helpful. I do a lot of public speaking now with pretty minimal anxiety and also feel much calmer when casually socializing with new people that I meet. Thanks!

excelent ! readable ,interesting ,useful !!!

i had been a social phobic for many years and i read a lot of materiaal about this subject. from the behavioral point of veiw this book is the BEST that i had ever read about social anxiety and social phobia. from cognitive point of view this book is o.k. a must-have book for every one that suffer from social anxiety or for therapist that deals with this subject-espesially for the behavioral therapists. there are wonderfull ideas on the book to what to expose yourself. the book is interesting-not just usefull. it is written using simple style. buy it ! buy it ! buy it !!!

Great workbook for those serious about changing

First the book helps you get to know where your major problem areas are by conducting a self-assessment. Next it helps you to change your anxious thoughts such as: "when people look at me, they are thinking I am strange or weird" to a more rational thought like: "most people aren't thinking about me and even if they do they are not likely to think I'm strange". Then, they confront your fears head on through exposure while employing the techniques you've learned. As a person with social anxiety I can tell you exposure treatment is a frightening prospect but it does work. This book holds your hand through it but never coddles you. It's not easy but it is possible to feel better. I use this book between therapy sessions as a kind of crutch or reminder of what I'm suppose to be doing.
