Don’t let shyness and social awkwardness hold you back from having fun and enjoying what life has to offer… find out how you can be effortlessly cool and charming!
Are you more comfortable texting or chatting online, instead of having face-to-face conversations?
Do you find making small talk or mingling with a crowd a complete and utter nightmare?
How many times have you backed out of plans to hang out with friends just because they’ve invited other people you don’t know?
Don’t fret – you are not alone. In fact, nearly half of teenagers consider themselves shy… which means some of your schoolmates and friends are also facing the same struggles as you.
Even famous celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Justin Bieber, Zendaya, and Lady Gaga – who seem incredibly confident and outgoing – admitted that they were quite timid and reserved when they were teens.
It’s completely normal to be shy – you’re dealing with a lot of changes, from your body to your hormones, and your environment to new experiences.
All these while living in a fast-paced, high-tech, social-media-driven world… it’s no wonder why you just want to be invisible sometimes.
But while there are perks of being a wallflower, it also hinders you from fully experiencing the magical time of your teenage years. Just imagine how many adventures and relationships you’ve missed out on because you’re too shy to try.
Here’s the good news: There’s no stopping you from turning things around and finally kicking that shyness to the curb.
Fortunately, this book is packed with useful and easy-to-learn techniques you can use to build your social skills and make positive changes happen.
Inside, here is just a small fraction of what you will discover:
- 8 surprisingly simple and fool-proof steps to create healthy relationships… stop hiding under the covers and start connecting with others!
- How to master the art of talking – know how to begin, join, and even properly end a conversation
- Why it’s crucial to learn social skills… and the 3 main ones you absolutely need in your lifetime
- 6 qualities that will make you more approachable and likable – watch in awe as people start gravitating toward you!
- What “emotional regulation” is and why can it make or break your connections with others
- Practical exercises in every chapter to help you apply what you’ve learned right away
- 5 teenage hurdles and how to conquer them – don’t let growing pains keep you from forming the best relationships with yourself and others
- The secrets to boosting your self-esteem and self-confidence – uncover how to become the “zero to hero” of your own life story!
And much more.
While it would be amazing if you could just make your shyness disappear with just one click, it doesn’t work that way. When it comes to building social skills, it’s a journey that requires learning, practicing, and reflecting.
Flipping the script to a whole new you – better, bolder, and braver – takes work… but if you trust the process, it’ll all be worth it.

Social Warming: How Social Media Polarises Us All
‘Witty, rigorous, and as urgent as a fire alarm’ Dorian Lynskey
‘Cooly prosecutorial’ Guardian
Nobody meant for this to happen.
Facebook didn’t mean to facilitate a genocide.
Twitter didn’t want to be used to harass women.
YouTube never planned to radicalise young men.
But with billions of users, these platforms need only tweak their algorithms to generate more ‘engagement’. In so doing, they bring unrest to previously settled communities and erode our relationships.
Social warming has happened gradually – as a by-product of our preposterously convenient digital existence. But the gradual deterioration of our attitudes and behaviour on- and offline – this vicious cycle of anger and outrage – is real. And it can be corrected. Here’s how.

Socialism: Utopian and Scientific
Socialism: Utopian and Scientific is a short book first published in 1880 by German-born socialist Friedrich Engels. The work was primarily extracted from a longer polemic work published in 1876, Anti-Dühring. It first appeared in the French language.The book has been an enormously popular book, and enjoys a level of prestige that ranks it alongside The Communist Manifesto. It explores the difference between early socialists (considered utopian) and the modern scientific socialists embodied in Karl Marx.
The book explains the differences between utopian socialism and scientific socialism, which Marxism considers itself to embody. The book explains that whereas utopian socialism is idealist, reflects the personal opinions of the authors and claims that society can be adapted based on these opinions, scientific socialism derives itself from reality. It focuses on the materialist conception of history, which is based on an analysis over history, and concludes that communism naturally follows capitalism.

Soft Machine On Track: Every Album, Every Song
Soft Machine are perceived as cold and forbidding. At their peak in the 1970s, they purposefully raised the hackles of pop journalists, the musical establishment, and even their own fans. Their music was designed to exclude all but the most devoted. Their line-up constantly churned, divesting themselves of every player that tried to make a human connection. Instead of the community of live performance, they favoured an abusive blast of ferocious noise that never ceased from the first note to the point you were driven out of the venue in shock. That all this was true only for a short period of their career and is certainly not the case for more recent incarnations is irrelevant if potential listeners are turned away before they’ve even dared to hear a note of their music. Do so, and an entirely different band emerges: one that is sly, spry, tuneful, trippy, and surprisingly welcoming, merging a glorious melange of prog rock, jazz fusion, and much more and capable of shifting on a unison beat from soul ballad to freeform skronk, from fuzz-driven pounding to aching minimalism. This book guides you through the maze of the band’s works, revealing why every album is worthy of re-evaluation, why they’re so influential, and why you should rush to assimilate as many of them as you can. It covers the live and studio material released by the parent group, all related projects with a ‘Soft’ in their name, and the essential extracurricular activities of every member from 1960 to the present day.Read more

Soldiers and Civilians, Transport and Provisions: Early Modern Military Logistics and Supply Systems During the British Civil Wars, 1638-1653: 108 (Century of the Soldier)
Until now historical works have neglected to fully consider the events of the British Civil Wars with respect to the logistics and supply systems. As such, this book evaluates and challenges these narratives of the wars by tackling historical debates through the lens of these logistics and supply systems at an operational level. How the military logistics and supply systems of the period functioned is revealed, including what methods of supply were used, what decisions and events these systems impacted, and how these related to strategic and tactical outcomes of the wars.The book investigates the facets of land, coastal, and riverine transportation, the supply of manpower to the armies, and the supply of food, clothing, and shelter to multiple forces across various conflicts throughout the British Civil Wars. With an application of a broad range of both civilian and military sources, this research employs archival and manuscript materials from national and local archives across the British Isles, contemporary tracts, letters, books, and pamphlets, as well as secondary literature from a variety of historical fields–from military history, economic and social studies, as well as reconstructive archaeology. As a result, the study outlines regional disparity in military logistics systems due to reliance on pre-existing civilian structures and methods–which had not been developed with a military purpose in mind and resulted in substantial logistical and supply differences that consequently, and heavily, favored one faction over another.
Many questions that have bedevilled previous historiography–and some that remain contentious even today–are likewise explored through this new perspective. This includes, but is not limited to, countering the simple narrative that Royalist armies were terribly supplied in comparison to Parliament, placing the Royalists’ Gloucester campaign in its correct strategic context, highlighting Catholic recruitment to Cromwell’s forces in Ireland, and providing a reasonable and informed explanation for Prince Rupert’s decision to fight at Marston Moor–all through the lens of logistics and supply. It emphasizes the absolute necessity of interactions between civil and military authority across multiple levels to supply early modern forces, providing a more nuanced history of civilian and military interactions than the popular view of soldiers imposing their will on a suffering population.
The book’s analysis of logistics and supply during the British Civil Wars, a focus not undertaken in such detail so far for the period, will provide a compelling read for those with interests in the operational realities of warfare during the seventeenth century more broadly, and the British Civil Wars in particular.

Somewhere Beyond the Sea: The hugely-anticipated sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea, a heartwarming and life-affirming delight
This is the hugely-anticipated sequel to TJ Klune’s The House in the Cerulean Sea, one of the best loved fantasy novels of the past decade. It’s also a New York Times and Washington Post bestseller.
A magical house. A secret past. A summons that could change everything.
Arthur Parnassus lives a good life built on the ashes of a bad one. He’s the master of a strange orphanage on a distant and peculiar island, and he hopes to soon be the adoptive father to the six dangerous and magical children who live there.
Arthur works hard and loves with his whole heart so none of the children ever feel the neglect and pain that he once felt as an orphan on that very same island so long ago. He is not alone: joining him is the love of his life, Linus Baker, a former caseworker in the Department In Charge of Magical Youth. And there’s the island’s sprite, Zoe Chapelwhite, and her girlfriend, Mayor Helen Webb. Together, they will do anything to protect the children.
But when Arthur is summoned to make a public statement about his dark past, he finds himself at the helm of a fight for the future that his family, and all magical people, deserve. And when a new magical child hopes to join them on their island home – one who finds power in calling himself monster, a name that Arthur worked so hard to protect his children from – Arthur knows they’re at a breaking point: their family will either grow stronger than ever or fall apart.
Welcome back to Marsyas Island. This is Arthur’s story.
Somewhere Beyond the Sea is a story of resistance, lovingly told, about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it.

Somewhere Sisters: A Story of Adoption, Identity, and the Meaning of Family
An NPR Best Book of 2022
An incredible, deeply reported story of identical twins Isabella and Hà, born in Viêt Nam and raised on opposite sides of the world, each knowing little about the other’s existence until they were reunited as teenagers, against all odds.
“Stirring and unforgettable—a breathtaking adoption saga like no other.” —Robert Kolker
It was 1998 in Nha Trang, Việt Nam, and Liên struggled to care for her newborn twin girls. Hà was taken in by Liên’s sister, and she grew up in a rural village with her aunt, going to school and playing outside with the neighbors. They had sporadic electricity and frequent monsoons. Hà’s twin sister, Loan, was adopted by a wealthy, white American family who renamed her Isabella. Isabella grew up in the suburbs of Chicago with a nonbiological sister, Olivia, also adopted from Việt Nam. Isabella and Olivia attended a predominantly white Catholic school, played soccer, and prepared for college.But when Isabella’s adoptive mother learned of her biological twin back in Việt Nam, all of their lives changed forever. Award-winning journalist Erika Hayasaki spent years and hundreds of hours interviewing each of the birth and adoptive family members. She brings the girls’ experiences to life on the page, told from their own perspectives, challenging conceptions about adoption and what it means to give a child a good life. Hayasaki contextualizes the sisters’ experiences with the fascinating and often sinister history of twin studies, intercountry and transracial adoption, and the nature-versus-nurture debate, as well as the latest scholarship and conversation surrounding adoption today, especially among adoptees.
For readers of All You Can Ever Know and American Baby, Somewhere Sisters is a richly textured, moving story of sisterhood and coming of age, told through the remarkable lives of young women who have redefined the meaning of family for themselves.

Song & Dance Man: The Art of Bob Dylan – Vol. 2 Yonder Comes Sin: Dylan’s Gospel Period And All of His 1980s Work (The 50th Anniversary Series)
“SONG & DANCE MAN: The Art of Bob Dylan” is unique in its scope, integrating biographical, literary and musical contexts into a powerful scrutiny of Dylan as songwriter and performer. This is Volume 2 of the new series celebrating 50 Years since the first edition’s release. It makes available again the complete out-of-print text from Song & Dance Man III.Volume 2 – ‘Yonder Comes Sin’ centers on Dylan’s late 1970s move to Born Again Christianity and studies his 1980s albums from Slow Train Coming to Oh Mercy plus special looks at some outtakes from these records such as Groom Still Waiting At The Alter. It also includes a chapter devoted to the celebrated “Infidels” outtake ‘Blind Willie McTell’.
The work in these three volumes has been called “Monumental, endlessly illuminating.” (Rolling Stone) “Probably the greatest book about the work of a single popular musician ever to have been published.” (London Review Bookshop) and “The definitive critical work.” (Evening Standard). The 50th Anniversary Series makes this classic book obtainable again after over a decade out-of-print. It contains no new material but rather turns the contents of the 3rd edition into three new volumes.
Author Michael Gray is recognized as a world authority on the work and career of Bob Dylan; he was the first to consider Dylan’s writing as worthy of treatment as serious art. As author K G Miles said: “People forget that the road to the Nobel Prize was very long, took many years, and began with that book; it began with Michael Gray.”
The 50th Anniversary Series also includes Volumes 1 and 3:
- VOLUME 1: Language and Tradition – Contains the foundational and timeless analysis that made this title a classic – looking at how Dylan’s writing and performance were influenced by folk music, rock music, and literature. It deeply inspects and discusses Dylan’s use of language, both his early bursts of complexity and his later move towards simplicity. Included is a special review of the song ‘Lay Down Your Weary Tune’ which Gray finds particularly effective and impressive, and an over 100-page chapter detailed Dylan’s fascination with and use of the pre-war blues.
- VOLUME 3: World Gone Right – Explores Dylan’s 1990s work, including a defense of “Under The Red Sky”, a history of the folk & blues covers albums Good As I Been to You and World Gone Wrong, an extensive analysis and ultimately a re-assessment of “Time Out Of Mind” – plus and an overview of Dylan’s rise, fall, and rise in terms of his artistry.
Generations of listeners have turned to Song & Dance Man to more deeply understand and appreciate Dylan’s work and unique creativity. Now you can too.
