Shy: How being quiet can lead to success teaches us how to embrace this misjudged attribute, instead of trying to fix it. \u003c\/strong\u003e          \u003c\/p\u003e          \u003cp\u003eMost of us have some understanding of shyness. From birthday parties as children to office Christmas parties as adults, from an old friend’s wedding to a group presentation, we’ve all experienced it in some form or other. Shyness may be ever-present or it may come and go.\u003c\/p\u003e          \u003cp\u003ePartly genetic, partly environmental, shyness is largely viewed as a character flaw, something that needs to change, but why is no-one talking about the benefits of being shy? For example, shyness usually equates to being an excellent listener, considerate speaker and thoughtful observer.\u003c\/p\u003e          \u003cp\u003eInterweaving personal experience with expertise from clinical psychologists, Annie explores why shyness affects some more than others, and offers tried-and-tested tools to help the reader deal with elements of shyness that can feel debilitating. Shy recasts our understanding of this often-misunderstood attribute, celebrating it as a pathway rather than a barrier to success and happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57536465338742,"sku":"9780008401863","price":7.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28275098.jpg?v=1774289045","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780008401863-shy","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
