 Rating:  - Not HelpfulMy conclusion is that the author of this book is extroverted. While he understands shyness, he does not have a comforting voice in this book. While I am in the middle of my self-discovery and changing of my shy habits, the tone of this book only made me feel more unnatural and "wrong" so I put it down immediately. Rating:  - "Shyness" stands the test of timeIt has been several years since I first read this book, and it is still a gem, its methods still vital. Before I found it there was a book by Philip Zimbardo that was the best around for about a decade. This book is full of ideas from a clear thinker. Several years ago, I wrote: I studied five popular books on shyness in the past few months, and I like Carducci's because his approach is based on intimate, detailed knowledge of shy people, as well as on his involvement with a Shyness ...

It has a real "blame the victim" tone to it, and basically asserts that shy people are selfish, and think themselves all-important. On the contrary, most shy people have huge problems with self-confidence around others, and yet are some of the most generous people around. Don't buy this book if you're shy and are tired of being talked-down to and patronized by somebody who DOES NOT understand shy people and what they experience in life. I'm ... Read More Rating: - Very interesting and helpfulI'm not as bad as some of the people he talks about in the book, but I certainly found a lot of examples that hit pretty close to home. Some of what he talks about being common for shy people was suprizing to me, such as having a much harder time communicating in loud places like bars. I always thought it was just me. I also liked that he doesn't see shyness as a problem that needs to be fixed, but helps people who may struggle to become more successful with their shyness. I've always beat myself ... Read More
