Book Description
If you are tired of walking on eggshells through life because of your anxiety... then keep reading. I know what it's like to miss out on opportunities because of the risk of embarrassing yourself. I know how annoying it is to have your extrovert friends tell you to 'loosen up and get another drink'. And I definitely know what it's like to hate yourself for being different from everyone else. A few years ago, I was severely depressed and needed a way out. In search for answers I turned to self-help. Not only were most books on the topic too preachy and full of woo-woo, they didn't suggest rock-solid, actionable things you must do to get ahead as a shy introvert. However, my search continued, and, in time, it yielded interesting findings- findings that I later applied to my life and transformed it as a result. Today, social anxiety is a thing of the past for me and depression is nothing but a transient mood. And guess what? Getting here is easier than you think, even if you've been told otherwise. This is why I have written Social Anxiety and Introverts: What Depressed Introverts Don't Know About Living Anxiety Free and Finding Happiness. As an Amazon Best-Selling author, I have written extensively about both social anxiety and introversion and have helped countless people get their lifes back. I have compiled my most transformational material into this 2 in 1 bundle book. Social Anxiety and Introverts: What Depressed Introverts Don't know About Living Anxiety Free and Finding Happiness is made up of two books...

Leading experts explore the connections between SWB and a range of intrapersonal and interpersonal phenomena, including personality, health, relationship satisfaction, wealth, cognitive processes, emotion regulation, religion, family life, school and work experiences, and culture. Interventions and practices that enhance SWB are examined, with attention to both their benefits and limitations.

Book Description
A “beautifully illustrated memoir, a deeply personal remembrance about the navigation into adulthood and the plants along the way. Touching and relatable.” (Lori Roberts, author of A Life of Gratitude) From Katie Vaz, author of Don’t Worry, Eat Cake, the beloved Make Yourself Cozy, and The Escape Manual for Introverts, comes My Life in Plants. Her newest book tells the story of her life through the thirty-nine plants that have played both leading and supporting roles, from her childhood to her wedding day. Plants include a homegrown wildflower bouquet wrapped in duct tape that she carried on stage at age three, to a fragrant basil plant that brought her and her kitchen back to life after grief. The stories are personal, poignant, heartwarming, and relatable, and will prompt readers to recall plants of their own that have been witness to both the amazing moments of life and the ordinary ones. This illustrated memoir covers the simplicity of home, the sharpness of loss, the lesson of learning to be present, and the journey of finding your way

Book Description
For anyone who loved Susan Cain’s Quiet, comes this practical manifesto sharing the joys of introversion… This clever and pithy book challenges introverts to take ownership of their personalities...with quiet strength. Sophia Dembling asserts that the introvert’s lifestyle is not “wrong” or lacking, as society or extroverts would have us believe. Through a combination of personal insights and psychology, The Introvert’s Way helps and encourages introverts to embrace their nature, to respect traits they may have been ashamed of and reframe them as assets. You’re not shy; rather, you appreciate the joys of quiet. You’re not antisocial; instead, you enjoy recharging through time alone. You’re not unfriendly, but you do find more meaning in one-on-one connections than large gatherings. By honoring what makes them unique, this astute and inspiring book challenges introverts to “own” their introversion, igniting a quiet revolution that will change how they see themselves and how they engage with the world.

Book Description
Thomas Gilovich offers a wise and readable guide to the fallacy of the obvious in everyday life. When can we trust what we believe—that "teams and players have winning streaks," that "flattery works," or that "the more people who agree, the more likely they are to be right"—and when are such beliefs suspect? Thomas Gilovich offers a guide to the fallacy of the obvious in everyday life. Illustrating his points with examples, and supporting them with the latest research findings, he documents the cognitive, social, and motivational processes that distort our thoughts, beliefs, judgments and decisions. In a rapidly changing world, the biases and stereotypes that help us process an overload of complex information inevitably distort what we would like to believe is reality. Awareness of our propensity to make these systematic errors, Gilovich argues, is the first step to more effective analysis and action.

Book Description
A great bene?t of being a clinical child psychologist is the opportunity to conduct and review research on fascinating areas of human, youthful behavior. And perhaps no behavior is as central to human existence as social behavior, and the lack thereof. In writing this book, therefore, I have been doubly blessed with the chance to examine seminal works on behaviors that are so critical to the development and quality of life of children. This book covers the major historical aspects, characteristics, asse- ment strategies, and psychological treatment techniques for youths with social anxiety and social phobia. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the related constructs and history of social phobia. Chapters 2 and 3 provide a summary of the characteristics and etiological variables that pertain most to youths with social anxiety and social phobia. Chapters 4 and 5 provide an overview of research- and clinically-based assessment strategies and recommendations for this population. Chapters 6–9 provide a description of treatment techniques that are most relevant and empirically supported for youths with social anxiety and social phobia. Chapter 10 covers issues regarding general and relapse prevention as well as dif?cult cases and future directions.

Book Description
"Gerald, as a kid you would sit there with your toys for hours. You didn't care for anything else when you were in your own world," My mom reminded in a recent conversation. It's true- ever since I could remember I was an introvert. As an only child, i used to get a lot of attention from family. Yet, despite this attention, ever since I can remember, I preferred solitude. Solitude was a liberating and relaxing place from which I could be myself and freely explore the things in life. People and friends were nice too. But there was nothing like solitude. However, as I grew older, I began to feel a divergence between what I liked and was comfortable with, and with others' expectation of me. I felt continuously out of place in the social environments I was pushed in to. Through time, introversion became an inadequate trait to have in a world seemingly made for extroverts. Perhaps you too have felt this. I've talked with many introverts whose need to be confident and assertive outwardly have pushed them into studies or careers that never suited them at all. Many of us have lost connection with a trait that made us special. I have great news for you. In my study of introversion, I have come across a great discovery: there is boundless power of learning, connection, leadership and introspection behind every introvert. I truly believe that if we, as introverts, truly understood the capacity and potential we have, we would not feel left out at all. There is tremendous power within each one of us- let's not permit society to tell us otherwise. In this book we will: Debunk many myths associated with introversion. E.g. Why introversion and shyness are unrelated. Regain our power as introverts through acceptance. Learn why the greatest moments of inspiration in human history have ocurred in introversion. Discover why introverts make great friends and even greater lovers. Explore why it is that the best entrepreneurs in America are introverts (Does Bill Gates and Elon Musk ring a bell?) Delve heavily into self-actualization through our new-found introvert abilities. Dear Introvert or extrovert, I invite you to read this book.

Book Description
The second volume in the collected works of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi covers about thirty years of Csikszentmihalyi‘s work on three main and interconnected areas of study: attention, flow and positive psychology. Describing attention as psychic energy and in the footsteps of William James, Csikszentmihalyi explores the allocation of attention, the when and where and the amount of attention humans pay to tasks and the role of attention in creating ‘experiences’, or ordered patterns of information. Taking into account information processing theories and attempts at quantifying people’s investment, the chapters deal with such topics as time budgets and the development and use of the Experience Sampling Method of collecting data on attention in everyday life. Following the chapters on attention and reflecting Csikszentmihalyi’s branching out into sociology and anthropology, there are chapters on the topic of adult play and leisure and connected to that, on flow, a concept formulated and developed by Csikszentmihalyi. Flow has become a popular concept in business and management around the world and research on the concept continues to flourish. Finally, this volume contains articles that stem from Csikszentmihalyi’s connection with Martin Seligman; they deal with concepts and theories, as well as with the development and short history, of the field and the “movement” of positive psychology.
