In "Shyness", Bernardo J. Carducci, Ph.D., draws on more than
twenty years of research to penetrate the many myths and mysteries
surrounding shyness. Through compelling case studies, a
comprehensive presentation of the latest discoveries, and numerous
self-help strategies and self-assessment quizzes, Dr. Carducci
helps to enlighten and encourage shy people who feel isolated and
misunderstood. In "Shyness", Carducci explains the basic principles
of shyness; discuses the psychical, mental, and emotional
expressions of shyness; and explores the biological, psychological,
and societal roots of this trait. In addition, Dr. Carducci traces
the manifestations of shyness at different life stages. In an age
of instantaneous, on-line electronic interpersonal relationships,
he outlines the specific challenges facing shy individuals in
contemporary society.
