pickGreat book for those with social anxiety. I felt so seen throughout most of this book. I loved how all the advice was backed up with science and how social anxiety was explained at its core. It allowed me to understand this is how I am and not some unknown subconscious trauma while providing me with the strategies to not let it impact my daily life. The book can be boring in parts but there is substance throughout.
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

pickI‘m late to the party with this….but this book is fantastic. I don‘t think I‘ll ever forget Demon Copperhead. It‘s touched on so many devastating social issues but remained uplifting!
Brilliant writing ❤️

pickHilarious & heartbreaking.
Omg, that took a lot of doing! Am very proud of myself to have received my 200 reviews badge on NetGalley.
My rating, however, has fallen from an already pitiful 30% to 21% so I've still got a lot of work to do !

pickThe author covers a year in his life as an anti-social behaviour officer in a very similar style to Adam Kay's accounts of being a junior doctor. His stories range from bizarre and hilarious to some that are desperately sad. I thought he walked the line between compassion and humour very well.
Despite the warmth and humour it is largely written with the subject matter is tough, including real accounts of drug use, homelessness and abuse.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Loving this one so far and enjoyed seeing this passage from when the author was talking to a co-worker. It's the exact same 'why would you do that..?' tone that I have had from some family and friends when they hear what I've done with my spare time.
'So you just sat in on Friday night reading a book...and that's it?'
