I literally could not read this book and I do not recommend it to anyone. Your time and money would be much better used elsewhere.

The anecdotes of Ty's childhood were the star of the show. I really enjoyed reading about Mr. Z and Brock.

Who died and made you king? I didn't enjoy him coming off as the leader/expert for awkward people. He wasn't arrogant. His opinions just were brushed with too broad of a brush.

3.5 stars

For awkward people like myself, this books is great. However it is so dense and academically packed that I'd need to reread it a few times to get the most of it. I did take some strategies away that I can utilize now with my interactions with others and I'll draw on this book as a resource should I need to review. I think I'll be doing lots of review. :) One step at a time, right?

A psychologist looks at some data about awkwardness and draws some conclusions.

Confession: I listened to the audiobook version of this work, and sometimes my mind wandered. I don’t often listen to audiobook nonfiction, as I’m more of a visual learner, but this book’s intriguing subject and conversational tone made for a generally positive listening experience, even if I may have missed some details. This is definitely intended as a popular, rather than scholarly, work. I’m not sure if did everything promised in the subtitle, but it gave me some thoughts to chew on.

I was supposed to get this book from the Early Reviewers program, but it never arrived. I saw that it was available as an e-audiobook through one of my library’s ebook platforms, so I borrowed it there.
