In his book How to Overcome Social Anxiety: Proven Strategies to Get Rid of Social Anxiety and Take Control of Your Social Life, Gabriel Angelo talks about a topic that is a problem for more people than one might expect: socialising with other people, or simply being surrounded by other people. The chapters in this relatively short book tell you what social anxiety is, how you can be sure whether you suffer from a case of social anxiety (even if it is just a minor one), and what steps you could and should take if you would like to live a life in which encounters with other people don't turn you into a nervous mess.

How to Overcome Social Anxiety: Proven Strategies to Get Rid of Social Anxiety and Take Control of Your Social Life by Gabriel Angelo is a good starting point if you feel that social anxiety might be your problem. Do you often feel nervous before meeting other people? Do you always wonder which things could go wrong during those meetings? Are you worried that people will not like you, or are constantly judging you? Then this book can help you to get a better idea about what you are actually going through. It is easy to read, and written in a friendly manner. Many other self-help books have authors that talk down to their readers, and make them feel like all they are doing is wrong. That's not the case here. You feel that the author truly wants to help the reader and walks by the reader's side. As someone who did suffer from serious social anxiety in the past (and still suffers from minor social anxiety), I found this book quite good, and can definitely see that the strategies in the book are helpful for people who never worked on their anxiety problems before.

I could not be happier that I came across How to Overcome Social Anxiety: Proven Strategies to Get Rid of Social Anxiety and Take Control of Your Social Life by Gabriel Angelo! I bought it to help my son who suffers from severe social anxiety, and didn’t realize until reading the symptoms described in this book, that I too suffer from a form of social anxiety. I learned so much about the disorder from symptoms, steps to real solutions, and so much I never knew. Gabriel Angelo is a very talented instructional writer who has provided a wonderfully written guide that will change your life for the better. I felt inspired and hopeful after reading this that life can actually be better, be less stressful and more enjoyable, the way life should be. The writer provides tools you can begin implementing right away to ease your discomfort in life, this book has already begun helping me and I know it’s going to help my son as well. If you or someone you love is suffering from social anxiety, I highly recommend you grab a copy today!

There are books and there are complete books. This book is the latter. Gabriel Angelo has gone over and above when writing this book. So many books are cobbled together or feel as if the author plagiarized off the internet. This book is not one of those books!

This book is written in a style that is easy to read. The sections are divided into logical sections that made it easy to find exactly what I was looking to find. I was able to find the information quickly.

There is information explains what social anxiety is, how to tell if you or a family member has it and what to do if you know or suspect a loved one or yourself is suffering from it. There is a chapter explaining how to help children or teens as they are not the same as adults and need to be treated differently.

Behavioral therapy, medication, group therapy... It is explained, in detail with pros and cons so you can understand the different methods of help for social anxieties. There is information here that you will find in much more expensive books. This book is short but the information covered is covered in detail. I am happy to have the strategies listed in this book and I feel they are going to be useful in helping what I am relieved to say is a mild case.
