Shy and Mighty

A book for shy people of all ages who wonder how to shine in an incredibly noisy world.

Shyness can make us feel isolated, and it's inherently difficult to talk about, yet half of all humans consider themselves shy. But shyness is not weakness, nor a shameful secret. Let's own our shyness, and work with it in the face of the loud, outgoing idea of success. It's time for a softer, more considered approach. Shy people have unique qualities and skills, so let's nurture and appreciate them.

Nadia Finer gives shy people the support and understanding they need to step out of the shadows. This book is full of easy to follow advice, backed up by first-hand experiences from fellow shy people. Nadia shares insights from scientists and psychologists to help explain the reasons behind shyness, and gives us top tips to help navigate the most challenging situations.

Shy and Mighty is packed with practical tools, techniques and ideas to help you work with your shyness, and become a more mighty you.

I'm Nadia Finer, and I'm on a softly-spoken mission to help shy people be more mighty. I'm the host of the Shy and Mighty podcast and a coach specializing in shyness. People call me the Shycologist.

I know what it's like to struggle with shyness. You see, all my life I've had a little voice. Really little. The kind of voice that makes random people tell me that I should be a cartoon voice-over actress.

I have spent the last thirteen years helping people of all ages overcome their fears and insecurities so that they can step out of the shadows and achieve big things, without changing who they really are.

I've travelled the world, speaking at international conferences, and have appeared in the Guardian, Telegraph, Independent and on Radio 4 and BBC Radio London.
