• eBook: 288 pages Language: English ISBN-10: 0062429159 ISBN-13: 978-0062429155 In the vein of Quiet and The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth comes this illuminating look at what it means to be awkward—and how the same traits that make us socially anxious and cause embarrassing faux pas also provide the seeds for extraordinary success.
• As humans, we all need to belong.
• While modern social life can make even the best of us feel gawky, for roughly one in five of us, navigating its challenges is consistently overwhelming—an ongoing maze without an exit.
• Often unable to grasp social cues or master the skills and grace necessary for smooth interaction, we feel out of sync with those around us.
• Though individuals may recognize their awkward disposition, they rarely understand why they are like this—which makes it hard for them to know how to adjust their behavior.
