"'Just be yourself!' You've likely heard this advice and thought
'But how?' Ellen Hendriksen's How to Be Yourself is for the
millions of Americans who consider themselves quiet, shy,
introverted, or socially anxious. Through clear, engaging
storytelling, she takes readers on an inspiring journey: from how
social anxiety gets wired into our brains to how you can learn to
live a life without fear. This book is also a groundbreaking
roadmap to finally being your true, authentic self." --Susan Cain,
New York Times, USA Today and nationally bestselling author of
Quiet
"Ever been frozen at a cocktail party? Panicked before a work
presentation? I've spent a lot of time speaking to large crowds and
walking into rooms full of strangers, and it's not always easy. How
to Be Yourself will let you rest easy knowing that your anxiety is
completely normal. As a clinical psychologist, Ellen has spent
years helping patients conquer insecurities. With her help, you can
go from asking yourself, 'Why can't I do this?' to knowing 'I can
do it.'" --Mignon Fogarty, New York Times bestselling author of
Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing "HOW TO BE
YOURSELF is terrific. It puts the tools of cognitive behavioral
therapy for social anxiety firmly in the hands of those who can
benefit the most from them and does so in a manner that is at once
extremely engaging and highly therapeutic. Ellen Hendriksen makes
it clear what needs to be done to manage social anxiety rather than
to be controlled by it and lays it out in the most down-to-earth
and from-the-heart fashion. The millions of people who struggle
with social anxiety will be all the better for reading this book."
--Richard G. Heimberg, Ph.D., Director of the AdultAnxiety Clinic
of Temple at Temple University "Ellen Hendriksen is the real deal.
This book cuts through the noise to help you overcome those big,
dark anxieties and doubts that hold you back so you can live your
best life." --Lewis Howes, New York Times bestselling author of The
School of Greatness "In a friendly and accessible voice, Dr.
Hendriksen teases apart introversion and social anxiety, explains
the differences, and provides concrete suggestions that will help
introverts who suffer from social anxiety find their way past the
fear to a happy and fulfilled introverted life." --Sophia Dembling,
author of The Introvert's Way and Introverts in Love
