“Think of this book as a great skating instructor. Shyness and social anxiety push us to stay
at the edge of the social skating rink, grasping tightly to a safety bar. Vitality and
involvement cannot happen there. This book takes you by the hand and teaches you how to
maintain your balance and choose your direction while in the open rink of full social
participation. Are you fed up with living at the anxious edge of life? Release your grip on
the safety bar and grab this book instead—it’s time to go for it.”

Nevada, Reno and author of
Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life
“This well-written, accessible workbook describes a new approach for coping with social
anxiety and shyness based on rigorous research by the authors and others. This book is an
excellent resource for anyone who experiences anxiety in social and performance situations.
I strongly recommend it!”

anxiety. The authors have a deep understanding and compassion for these difficulties, and
their book is full of interesting and helpful exercises, all clearly explained and organized.”

“Jan Fleming and Nancy Kocovski have created a highly accessible guide to support the
journey from anxiety to calm, from worry to clarity, for those who experience stress in the
face of social engagements and new situations. Built upon carefully studied clinical
applications and the rigorous science of focusing the mind in an open and peaceful way, this
practical handbook offers health-creating relief for anyone with an anxious disposition—
especially those with social anxiety and shyness—so that they can find the inner peace and
interpersonal confidence needed to live their lives with more ease and well-being.
Congratulations to the authors for bringing the research-proven benefits of mindfulness to
the lives of so many who are sure to benefit from their empirically-proven and practical
suggestions!”

“This book captures the most cutting-edge approaches for managing one of the most
common, chronic, and debilitating psychological problems. Instead of trying to manage or
get rid of social anxiety, the authors offer a shift in thinking toward how anxiety is
transformed with an open, receptive attitude, and how a person can make progress toward
meaningful life pursuits despite the presence of doubt and social fears. Many people will be
helped by the insights in this workbook.”

Curious? Discover the Missing Ingredient to a
Fulfilling Life
“The authors bring their expertise and caring approach to each of the well-thought-out steps
that lead to reducing anxiety over a wide range of situations. The specific therapeutic
techniques of acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness are translated very
skillfully into exercises that lead the reader gradually, step by step, to being able to look at
their own anxiety in new ways.”
