Many people though suffering from simple shyness or even social anxiety disorder, are stuck in their condition because they don't understand what is causing it and what triggers their emotional and physical reactions.

The review --
First of all, a book
on a "cure" for shyness probably doesn't enchant potential readers
when it's written by someone using a pseudonym. "Christopher S."
Really? His Facebook name is "Christopher KDP", so he is either
really shy himself, meaning his book doesn't work, or he thinks this is as
touchy a subject as erectile dysfunction. The book is all basic common sense.
True, most folks don't have that, but there's not a lot of information
here. There's supposedly some
sort of "shyness algorithm" that the author goes over. Would be
interested to see it, but it wasn't in the free copy I downloaded from Amazon.
And it's not nearly interesting enough to bother going back to see if there's
an update. This book is your typical "get rich"-type of e-book: No
real substance, common problem, net-scoured information, and a lot of
self-promotion on Facebook. If you're reading the book and find you have to
"practice" social situations, as the book suggests, I would suggest a
career manning a lighthouse or a morgue or some other career not involving
social activity. You don't practice that - you get in and do it.
Sheesh.
