The Shyness Guide offers a different view of shyness, and a different approach to the problems shy people encounter in the non-shy social world. Alan Conrad believes shyness is natural in most shy people, that it is a remnant from humanity's pre-historic past, and he insists that shy people can cope with the social world without suppressing their shy nature. He says they possess hidden strengths that, combined with acquired knowledge, will allow them to cope with the social world while remaining their own true selves. Conrad has provided advice for shy people since 2006 on his website (www.alanconrad.com), now also known as www.shyhighway.com.
