Five years after I wrote “Brave: A Memoir of Overcoming Shyness”, “Brave: A Painfully Shy Life” is ready. Succinctly, in my opinion, the wording is tighter, the definitions and concepts are clearer and the new self-help guide is inviting.

Now I try to always use the words “severe shyness” in place of “shyness” to emphasize the true nature of the affliction that about 1/20 people suffer from.

More ahead.

Happy Mother’s Day,

Helen
