金石堂How to Be Yourself is the best audiobook you’ll ever listen to about how to conquer social anxiety.
“...a groundbreaking road map to finally being your true, authentic self.” —Susan Cain, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Quiet
When you get nervous about interacting with others, you’re probably told, “Just be yourself!” But that is easier said than done—especially if you’re prone to social anxiety. You might say you’re just introverted or bad with people; that you’re fine around friends but feel like you can’t speak up in a board meeting or a mingling event; or maybe you never would have considered yourself socially anxious but have recently moved or started a new job, only to become isolated and unsure.
In How to Be Yourself, Dr. Ellen Hendriksen proposes a groundbreaking idea: you already have everything you need to succeed in any unfamiliar social situation. As someone who lives with social anxiety herself, Dr. Hendriksen has devoted her career to helping her clients overcome the same obstacles she has. With both familiarity and authority, Dr. Hendriksen talks the listener through the roots of social anxiety and why it endures; how it’s wired into our brains and how we can change our brains through our behavior; and how to quiet your Inner Critic (the voice that says, You can’t).
Using her techniques to help listeners develop confidence, think through the buzz of anxiety, and relax in the face of uncertainty, Dr. Hendriksen explains how you can finally be yourself.
