A perfect manual for us introverts to really reach out and connect with others, this book not only does provide knowledge and insights into the worlds of shyness and confidence, but it even takes it a step further by giving a 21-day blueprint to actually put the theory into practise.
Shyness exists in every corner of the world, every level of society, every workplace and school, in boardrooms, bars, churches and bus stops, in places large and small. The digital age, with all the interconnection it offers, has only made things worse. For those living under the shyness curse, life can be discomforting at best and terrifying at worst. While many people experiencing social anxiety simply resign themselves to the fact and retreat from social interaction, this need not be the case.
OK, so I am shy. So what? That’s just who I am.
While shyness may seem just as much a part of you as your elbow, the difference between your elbow and your shyness is that you weren’t born with your shyness. It was cultivated and fostered over the years (quite possibly unknowingly) through the processes of your (sneaky) mind. There is good news here for you. You might never succeed at thinking away your elbow, but you can apply your mind’s amazing power to banish your social anxiety for good!
I’ve tried overcoming my shyness before, I am just not sure it’s worth it.
OK, so there are shy people who live content lives despite their affliction. But how many of them could honestly claim to have lived a truly full and rewarding life? Experiencing the full richness and beauty of our world requires some measure of confidence and the ability to create real, meaningful human relationships. In addition to receiving what others have to offer, those comfortable interacting with new people are also able to give of themselves in enriching ways. Such symbiosis requires the ability to reach out to others, to trust the unknown.
But that unknown, that’s the uncomfortable part.
And that is ok! Growth often requires stepping outside of your comfort zone. Author Michal Stawicki knows this firsthand and has seen the extraordinary results. Michal was once painfully shy, and it limited him in his personal, professional, and social life. So, when he set out to change his life, he knew that his shyness had to go. And go it did! It wasn’t always comfortable, but it also wasn’t that difficult.
But it can’t be that easy, right?
From Shy to Hi follows Michal’s successful 10 Minutes Philosophy, a strategy that has helped Michal and thousands of his readers to bring about big changes in their lives through small, but sustained action. You will not go from “wallflower” to “the life of the party” overnight. Instead the book offers practical, easy-to-implement strategies to help you dismantle your social anxiety through daily, non-intimidating steps.
If you’re ready to develop that confidence you are after and reap the benefits of meaningful interactions, then scroll to the top of page and download From Shy to Hi now.

Whole: Rethinking the Science of Nutrition
If you simply want to know why whole foods, plant-based eating has not become more widely accepted, then Whole is a very fine book for you. Thank you, T. Colin Campbell for turning it out.
What happens when you eat an apple? The answer is vastly more complex than you imagine.
Every apple contains thousands of antioxidants whose names, beyond a few like vitamin C, are unfamiliar to us, and each of these powerful chemicals has the potential to play an important role in supporting our health. They impact thousands upon thousands of metabolic reactions inside the human body. But calculating the specific influence of each of these chemicals isn’t nearly sufficient to explain the effect of the apple as a whole. Because almost every chemical can affect every other chemical, there is an almost infinite number of possible biological consequences.
And that’s just from an apple.
Nutritional science, long stuck in a reductionist mindset, is at the cusp of a revolution. The traditional “gold standard” of nutrition research has been to study one chemical at a time in an attempt to determine its particular impact on the human body. These sorts of studies are helpful to food companies trying to prove there is a chemical in milk or pre-packaged dinners that is “good” for us, but they provide little insight into the complexity of what actually happens in our bodies or how those chemicals contribute to our health.
In The China Study, T. Colin Campbell (alongside his son, Thomas M. Campbell) revolutionized the way we think about our food with the evidence that a whole food, plant-based diet is the healthiest way to eat. Now, in Whole, he explains the science behind that evidence, the ways our current scientific paradigm ignores the fascinating complexity of the human body, and why, if we have such overwhelming evidence that everything we think we know about nutrition is wrong, our eating habits haven’t changed.
Whole is an eye-opening, paradigm-changing journey through cutting-edge thinking on nutrition, a scientific tour de force with powerful implications for our health and for our world.

This is a book that can be read by many people with each one taking something different away from it, especially as it covers a subject that is so universal yet unique to each individual, money. I definitely recommend this read.
America’s wealthy seldom get that way through an inheritance or an advanced degree. They bargain-shop for used cars, raise children who don’t realize how rich their families are, and reject a lifestyle of flashy exhibitionism and competitive spending. In fact, the glamorous people many of us think of as “rich” are actually a tiny minority of America’s truly wealthy citizens—and behave quite differently than the majority.
At the time of its first publication in 1996, The Millionaire Next Door was a groundbreaking examination of America’s rich—exposing for the first time the seven common qualities that appear over and over among this exclusive demographic. This new edition, the first since 1998, includes a new foreword by Dr. Thomas J. Stanley—updating the original content in the context of the 21st century.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Formerly a professor of marketing at Georgia State University, Dr. Stanley spent approximately 20 years interviewing America’s wealthy, starting in 1973—and focusing on people with a net worth of at least $1 million.
His first book, Marketing to the Affluent, was chosen as a Top 10 Outstanding Business Book by the editors of Best of Business Quarterly. He achieved popular acclaim with The Millionaire Next Door—selling over 2 million copies. In total, Dr. Stanley’s books have spent over 170 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller list.
Dr. Stanley holds a PhD in Business Administration from the University of Georgia in Athens. He currently lives in Atlanta.

Rather than giving a thorough review of it, I’ll just provide some of the quotes that resonated with me or simply made a point very well.

The Strange Proposal (Love Endures)

What a quaint, old-fashioned story! The plot is impossible, but the characters are endearing, and the message of faith is valuable. It was a favorite of mine as a child, because it reminds me a bit of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s A Little Princess! It isn’t a children’s book, but there are plenty of children in it! Wholesome.

Sound of the Trumpet (Love Endures)
Such a wonderful story of courage and steadfastness. This world needs more people like Lisle and John who are willing to keep the faith in very trying circumstances and not give in to the world.

I have always loved this book and considered it an old friend. Her descriptions were so vivid of the countryside and she made the characters of the families so real
