“Think of this book as a great skating instructor. Shyness and social anxiety push us to stay at the edge of the social skating rink, grasping tightly to a safety bar. Vitality and involvement cannot happen there.

This book takes you by the hand and teaches you how to maintain your balance and choose your direction while in the open rink of full social participation. Are you fed up with living at the anxious edge of life? Release your grip on the safety bar and grab this book instead – it is time to go for it!”

– Steven C. Hayes, PhD.

“Few workbooks succeed at combining therapeutic innovation and clinical wisdom as well as this one, and as a result, Jan Fleming and Nancy Kocovski’s efforts will have a significant impact in our field for years to come.”

– Zindel V. Segal, PhD
