"This book is also a groundbreaking road map to finally being your true, authentic self." -Susan Cain, New York Times, USA Today and nationally bestselling 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 reader 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.

Ellen Hendriksen writes as if she is talking to you in your living room. A very humbled and inspirational way of writing. The book does not tell you what to do to be a better person. But how to gain confidence in being you. You should not expect „how to be yourself“ to change you, but to give you good advices so you can start to fight your social anxious situations. The only negative point is that towards the end the content started to be repetitive.
How to Be Yourself: Quiet Your Inner Critic and Rise Above Social Anxiety is a self-help book written by Ellen Hendriksen. The book explores the root causes of social anxiety and provides practical strategies for overcoming it. Hendriksen argues that social anxiety is caused by a combination of genetic predispositions, past experiences, and negative self-talk, and that it can be managed through cognitive and behavioral techniques. The book emphasizes the importance of self-compassion and self-acceptance, and provides tips for quieting the inner critic that often fuels social anxiety. It also provides guidance on how to challenge negative thoughts and beliefs, and how to practice self-care and relaxation techniques to manage anxiety.
