I'm gonna be honest here and say I had to drop this book because while it's informative and helpful (it gives you insight on your type of anxiety, offers examples and ways to apply cognitive therapy to help you out, even offering coping strategies) it gave me anxiety reading it. Maybe it's because of the book, maybe it was because of the tone or maybe it was me, or not veing ready right at the moment to tangle with it.
I have read other books about anxiety and found them helpful, so I am not sure what was going on here...
While at the beginning the tone the author uses seems informal and enthusiastic, it ended up feeling like he was overly so, like he was downplaying things in his effort to be enthusiastic...
I feel I can't offer a truthful review of the book as a whole as I had to stop reading, but I wanted to share those insights with you. As always, check it out if you feel like it can help you out, but if you feel like this book is not for you, it's okay, there are other books on social anxiety that might be better for you.
