This was a good book about social anxiety, although a large portion of the book didn't resonate with me personally. There were a few good tips that I liked though.
Update: I listened to this on audiobook again recently, and I liked it more listening to it. Some of the main takeaways that I took from this were to 'aim for mediocrity' (not perfection) in social situations, shift your focus outward, and how you feel is not how you look. 3.5 stars, rounded to 4

The overly chatty tone and pop sci tropes can be wearisome, but very substantive and enlightening.

It also provides guidance on how to challenge negative thoughts and beliefs, and how to practice self-care and relaxation techniques to manage anxiety.

Found very useful as a person with social anxiety myself! The only thing I really wanted was more facts than story. If the stories were either short or not as many as included then I’d give it a 5.
