Goodbye to Shy: 85 Shybusters That Work!
Another new bestseller which I highly recommend – The Exclusive Layguide: When Dating and Having Sex with Incredibly Hot Women is No Longer Mirage Even If You Don’t Look Like a Model or Don’t Make a Fortune
About six months ago I purchased a similar book by Leil Lowndes called How to Talk to Anyone, which was recommended in another book on meeting women. Eventually this book was recommended to me through Amazon and I’m glad I bought it.
Compared to the other Lowndes book which is great in its own respect, this book is much more focused on working through problems of shyness and social anxiety which has been an issue for me in the past. One of the major breakthroughs I had while reading this was an acceptance that I’m a shy person and that I can’t pretend otherwise or try to be someone that I’m not. Ultimately you’re not really addressing the problem and people will see through those deceptions.
Instead, the book offers baby-step tips on that can help you overcome shyness and other issues when dating, having casual conversations, dealing with social events like parties and even going on interviews. By just taking the techinques one at a time I was never overwhelmed. I gained little bits of knowledge and insight every few pages and then I would put the book down, think about it for a day or two and then try to put it into practice.
I would never move on in the book unless I felt I made some progress and slowly but surely I gained more confidence and fewer people perceived me as being shy (yeah, I asked). Ultimately, I felt more confident and now I don’t have a problem making small talk and getting into the mix. That was my goal and this book had a hand in helping me reach it.
I recommend both this book and the author’s How to Talk to Anyone, which was recommended in another great book on meeting women and dating called Secrets of the A Game: How to Meet and Attract Women Anywhere, Anyplace, Anytime
I wasn’t too impressed with this book. I did like her 92 secrets and felt this book just fell short. It’s not a bad book; but not a really good read.
The main thrust of this book seems to be aimed at overcoming admitting you are shy, and not feeling bad about it.
I was actually hoping for a few techniques to help me communicate with others, not to prevent me blurting out “hi, I’m shy” to passing strangers.
Not a particularly useful book, and I would not recommend wasting your money on it.
Even if you’re not shy, Leil outlines many aspects of personal relations that are beneficial for everyone. In a humorous way, she sites real-life examples (many of her own) that point out where a shy may have shortcomings. She then explains why you may behave the way you do and offers alternatives to get past the shy behavior. I have this in audio book format and listen to it while driving. I drive for a living and I’ve listened to it three times so far. Each time I listen, I pick up some useful bit of data I missed previously. I recommend 100%! Thanks Leil!!
