About this listen
How to Be Yourself is the best audiobook you'll ever listen to about how to conquer social anxiety.
"...a groundbreaking road map to finally being your true, authentic self." - Susan Cain, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of Quiet
Up to 40% of people consider themselves shy. You might say you're introverted or awkward, or that you're fine around friends but just can't speak up in a meeting or at a party. Maybe you're usually confident but have recently moved or started a new job, only to feel isolated and unsure.
If you get nervous in social situations - meeting your partner's friends, public speaking, standing awkwardly in the elevator with your boss - you've probably been told, "Just be yourself!" But that's easier said than done - especially if you're prone to social anxiety.
Weaving together cutting-edge science, concrete tips, and the compelling stories of real people who have risen above their social anxiety, Dr. Ellen Hendriksen proposes a groundbreaking idea: you already have everything you need to succeed in any unfamiliar social situation. As someone who lives with social anxiety, Dr. Hendriksen has devoted her career to helping her clients overcome the same obstacles she has.
With familiarity, humor, and authority, Dr. Hendriksen takes the listener through the roots of social anxiety and why it endures, how we can rewire our brains through our behavior, and - at long last - exactly how to quiet your Inner Critic, the pesky voice that whispers, "Everyone will judge you." Using her techniques to develop confidence, think through the buzz of anxiety, and feel comfortable in any situation, you can finally be your true, authentic self.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Brilliant
Seemed a little stilted to start. The narrator had inflexions on the end of every sentence. But, once she started to settle in to the story, it was an incredibly valuable listen and beautifully told

It talks about a lot of researches and facts, not just about anecdots. It's a complete guide, and I have learned many tools regarding my social anxiety. I come out of this as a more confident and less stressed person. People around me already sees a difference. Thank you

If you have Social Anxiety, this book is for you.
After listening to this book I knew didn't have social anxiety, but got a better understanding, and the root causes of it. Though I do consider myself as an introvert/quiet person, Ellen's advice she shares throughout this book, her clients' anecdotes on how they relieved this anxiety has helped me express my thoughts more (to others) and to increase my inner circle. Highly recommend to anyone suffering from it.

Kind Voice, Helpful Words
I loved this book! I was soothed by Ellen Hendrickson‘s calm and knowledgable voice, as she went through easily comprehensible and applicable steps to managing my social anxiety. Each chapter surprised me, as they explained my personal situations perfectly. I was even more shocked when the chapter on perfectionism used my name as Hendricksen’s patient (I don’t hear “Vivian” too often). It felt like a personal call out – especially because my biggest personal anxiety trait is perfectionism.
When the book came to an end I honestly thought to myself, “I’m going to miss this book.” I will listen again and take physical notes, so I can review them and apply them to my life.
