About this ebook
Although shyness is a very common trait and almost everyone experiences it at some level, its often misunderstood. Thats because few of us ask about the frustration, anxiety, pain, and triumphs in the life of a shy person. These experiences remain hidden, and shy people may feel that nobody wants to know whats going on in their hearts, minds, and souls. Their silence often isolates them.
In Shyness: The Ultimate Teen Guide, Bernardo J. Carducci and Lisa Kaiser help young adults address a concern that millions of teens around the world experience.
