SYNOPSIS: WHO IS SHY? YOU'D BE SURPRISED! Certainly you're not the only one--even though it seems that way when you feel crippled by shyness in a social, business or personal relationship. Actually many famous and successful people have struggled with shyness--and overcome it--people like CAROL BURNETT, BARBARA WALTERS, LAWRENCE WELK, MELVIN BELLI, NANCY WALKER and JOHNNY CARSON. Now Dr. Philip Zimbardo brings together the results of five years' extensive study, the experiences of more than 5000 people and the startlingly successful techniques of his revolutionary Shyness Clinic to help you FACE AND CONQUER THIS LIFE-LIMITING PROBLEM! - and - SHYNESS: AN INSIDIOUS PERSONAL PROBLEM SHARED BY MILLIONS! It is reaching such epidemic proportions as to be considered a social disease. Trends in our society suggest it will get worse as social forces increase our isolation, competition and loneliness. What can we do about it? How can we change a lifetime of limiting behavior? How can we free ourselves from the painful, hidden fears that control us? Dr. Zimbardo's revolutionary book brings hope to shy people everywhere. With stunning insight and deep compassion he brings his highly effective techniques and extensive investigation together in this wonderful, helpful book.
