I wish I had read this book thirty years ago. Extreme shyness prevented me from becoming a leader for most of my working life. Instead of seizing an opportunity that involved speaking in front of a group I made excuses. These opportunities may have led to promotions or career advancements but my insecurity always held me back. I was so shy I didn’t even speak up at meetings so the thought of speaking in front of a group was terrifying.I have read other books on this topic and I’ve found that this book stands out. Author Kris Kaynes takes a unique approach. Instead of listing confidence building techniques, this book stresses a more holist approach. The book not only deals with how you feel about yourself but also how you feel and relate to other people and the world around you.Overcome Insecurity Forever is short enough to read multiple times and refer to specific passages. I know I really liked it because I’ve highlighted sections throughout the book and I’ve already gone back and re-read many sections. Going forward I plan to practice the methods described in this book and also I plan to use the book as a reference so that I don’t slip back into old patterns.
