Cringeworthy: A Theory of Awkwardness

We tell children, “Who cares what other people think of you?” Some developmental psychologists even argue that we start to feel self-conscious at a very young age, before we even turn 2.

The natural instinct is to duck our heads and cower in shame. Author Melissa Dahl will show how to turn this deeply human, innate feeling of self-consciousness into a superpower. Seeing yourself through someone else’s eyes can help you become the person you wish you were.
