Brave is the first major memoir to describe what it's like to be chronically shy and then to overcome it. It takes the reader on a complete journey, from early life and overwhelming, inexplicable shyness to later years of gradual comprehension, social adaptation, and eventual understanding and peace of mind. From beginning to end, Helen Rivas-Rose's unstated purpose never her message is to help inspire other shy people to overcome their own pain. This book will help the non-shy to understand better their shy friends and family members. In this regard it's a must read for teachers.
