I
received a KINDLE Edition of this book through a LibraryThing.com giveaway in
return for my honest opinion of it.
As
I read this book the song “I’m Shy” from Once Upon a Mattress began playing in
my head. I remembered watching on television first with Carol Burnett in the
early 1970’s and then with Tracy Ullman a few years ago.
In
this song Winnifred sings about her having an air of being confident but
confesses it’s merely a mask she wears because she’s actually shy and that deep
down inside she’s demure and pure.
This
book does a wondrous job in helping those individual who confess to being shy
get pass what is creating it and to develop an air of confident whether it’s
real or a veil hiding the shyness which still exists inside them. It speaks the
truth in describing the kind of individual introverts are, will surprise them
in revealing the kind of powerful individual they truly are.
I
must confess I’m basically a shy individual however in some areas of social
life I appear not to be the wallflower I am, because those observing me are
surprised by the knowledge I possess. The listing of strengths introverts have
in Chapter 3 describes me almost to a “T”; especially Number 10, when it comes
to doing the book reviews I write.
As
I read Part 2 which deals with overcoming social anxiety and shyness by giving
suggestions, and given what I wrote in the above I began to wonder how many
so-called extroverts who have developed some of them to the nth degree are
truly introverts in real life.
The
self-examination questions the book asks does an accurate job in what it’s
asking you to look at.
For
helping those introverts who read this book to discover the reasons behind
their plight and hopefully overcome it, I’m giving this book 5 STARS.
but it s because I know them well enough or I see that they are nice. shy mastery guide review
