Now, I'm looking for a good, easy to read, knowledgeable book that may help in trying to come to terms with my personality but also how to improve things. I've seen some books which baffle me with it's gobble de gook language which puts me off so something simple would be perfect for me. Any suggestions of books that may have helped anybody else? Cheers

Of course! anywhere you are in the world, coz the 1st one's available if you have a paypal account, Visa, Mastercard, AMerican Express or any major credit card.
The second one's available in Amazon Kindle.
Good luck.

I was going to get a book by Susan Quilliam called Positive Thinking but I couldn't find it at my library so I came across these two books to read, anyone read them by any chance?
Richard O'Connor - Happiness Frank Tallis - How To Stop Worrying

I think everyone should read up on buddhism. I'm not saying everyone should become a buddhist (it's a philosophy anyway, even if people do treat it as a religion), but there's a lot of really interesting things to learn about and some stuff that can be applied to the real world. I'm reading "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding Buddhism" right now and it is truly fascinating (and insightful!)

I've just bought Overcoming Social Anxiety and Shyness, by Professor Gillian Butler. It's got an exercise section in it too. I'll have read it by this time next week, so I'll come back on and write about it. Has anyone else read it? It's got good reviews on Amazon anyway!

I've been reading "From Shy To Social: The Shy Man's Guide to Personal & Dating Success". Its a pretty easy and interesting read and its written by someone who had problems with shyness and social anxiety and overcame it. It has some great ideas and exercises to improve yourself that can be used by women as well.

I usually Google about tips on how to overcome shyness and how to build self-esteem. But if you want a specific book to read, you might be interested with Overcom Shyness 101 , that's what I am reading at the moment. I helped me a lot and I hope it will help you too.

I find the work of Dr. Carducci on being "successfully shy" to be the most helpful, see www.ius.edu/shyness/The site shyandfree.com has a similar message but uses mind, body, spirit as way to explain how one can be shy and still create the life they want. Both these sites are positive. A.

I thought the Shyness Research Institute site was pretty interesting. I found myself agreeing with most of the things they mentioned there on overcoming shyness. Still, knowing doesn't necessarily mean doing them will be easy. Especially when you often end up feeling bad after trying to. It's not easy to control one's emotions or put into practice something you're not really accustomed to.
Well, i think both sites are pretty helpful. It would not hurt to try and give them a look.

I can suggest one "The Short Book For Overcoming Shyness" . just google the name you will find it. or you can find it here amzn.to/1Gq5Bmwpro: the guy who wrote it demands that it was his story. so, learning from real experience could be more helpful con: it is only available in amazon kindle. But the good news is you can read it in any device. coz amazon now have app for reading kindle books.
