Sinossi
Melissa Dahl, imbarazzata di lunga data, vi invita a seguirla in ogni genere di momenti mortificanti, attingendo alla sua esperienza personale e a ricerche ed esperimenti psicologici rigorosi. Il suo obiettivo è andare alle radici dell'imbarazzo, per rispondere a domande su cui probabilmente anche voi avrete riflettuto, per esempio: perché sono le situazioni prive di regole chiare quelle che con maggiore probabilità si trasformano in situazioni imbarazzanti? Perché ciò che sentite interiormente non corrisponde a ciò che di voi proiettate all'esterno? Le persone ci giudicano davvero tanto severamente quanto pensiamo? È possibile superare una volta per tutte il proprio sé adolescente e imbarazzato? Imparando a sopportare le situazioni che più mettono a disagio - dalle conversazioni difficili al sentire il suono terribile della propria voce - avrete un'arma segreta per lasciare impressioni migliori, certamente più memorabili.

This book was so much fun, and had some lovely insights. I enjoyed it from start to finish, and really felt encouraged to embrace the awkward. A fun and uplifting read!
This was a fun and easy read. Lost of interesting facts, stories, and tips. I'm not going to join an improv group anytime soon, but I do feel better equipped at dealing with cringe.
Had the privilege of getting an advance copy of this book, and it really is worth your time and investment. We all get embarrassed or let fear of it dictate our lives, but Dahl really gets into the nitty gritty of how and why this happens to us, providing a lot of insight into the human condition as Leggi tutto
Really glad to have read this book. It really does help to put the cringe-worthy moments in an individual's past in perspective with the whole of humanity. Everyone has things from their past that they are not glad to think about, and that perspective helps a ton.
I picked up this book thinking it was just going to be amusing stories about embarrassing things that happen to us. There was some of that, but it was a lot more scholarly than I expected, very informative and educational. I especially like what she says about self-talk; my version of self-talk has
