"disappointing" according to A Customer. I was eagerly looking forward to this book, but am very disappointed by it. I just received it today, and though admittedly I haven't had time to read it fully, I have skimmed the topics and several dozen pages, and I'm not even going to bother reading it. This book would seem to be useless to anyone but a yuppie business executive holding million-dollar meetings and having power lunches. And obtaining such a position would seem to me to require a reasonably outgoing, aggressive personality, not the painfully shy person to which this book is allegedly directed. Oh, there's also sections on how to me. Unrealistic approach to overcoming shyness. A Customer I was extremely disappointed in this book. More than half of it applies to interviews and business situations, and the section on social situations is extremely short and only took about a half an hour to read. I found that the language and situations used were very unrealistic to the point of being phony. Overall I found this book to be very unhelpful and I would suggest to people looking for help on this subject matter to look elsewhere. I think the author should try updating his ideas and try to apply them to more modern situations.. Amazon Customer said not for the "painfully shy". I think this book is mis-named. It should be called, "Talking with Confidence for those who are just a little bit shy." The author doesn't seem to have any idea what it is like to be "painfully shy". This book is NOT going to help someone who is truly "painfully shy". Maybe it would help someone who just has a tiny bit of social awkwardness but certainly not the "painfully shy", as it claims in the title. I was extremely dissapointed
