Beyond Shyness: How To Conquer Social Anxieties

A leading psychotherapist explains how to conquer the entire range of social anxieties, and demonstrates how anyone of any age can set specific goals that work toward the development of lasting self-esteem--the core of healthy social interaction.

Replace Rejection and Fear with Self-Respect

Almost everyone feels shy or slightly stressed in certain kinds of situations -- with new people, on a job interview, or on a first date. Jonathan Berent has helped thousands who suffer from shyness become calm, confident, and socially adept. He shows how even extremely shy people can overcome the low self-esteem and frustration that settle in after years of social disappointments and rejection, and gradually move toward mastery of the situations they find most difficult.
