How to Understand and Live with Social Anxiety emphasizes the idea that social anxiety is not a disorder, not something that needs to be fixed, but a developed conditioning of the mind to think and believe in negative realities. The book, through a step-by-step process, helps readers slowly understand their mental illness within the distinctiveness of their own context and gives them the tools to rewire their thought processes.

At the book's end, readers who actively practice some or all of the seven helpful steps will find that they feel more in control of their social anxiety, and therefore, more in control of their life. WC: 105
