Christian Godefroy – How to Overcome Shyness
How to overcome your shyness and develop your courage How often have you found yourself trembling, heart pounding, legs weak, cheeks on fire, when facing a colleague or your boss, a teacher or a traffic cop, or simply a person of the opposite sex? Shyness can be paralyzing at any age. It causes bizarre anxieties, nightmares, indigestion and, when the occasion to be strong and affirmative has passed, infinite regrets. Do you thing you’re beyond hope? If you do, you’re wrong. Shyness can be treated. You might not be aware that most psychologists who have published works on the subject, were at one time very shy themselves. Who is more likely to be interested in shyness, and write hundreds of pages about it, than a person who is shy!
Those who have never suffered from shyness are incapable of understanding to what point it can ruin our lives and make us unhappy. Self assurance, confidence and ease of expression are the main qualities of a magnetic personality. If being shy is forcing you to hide behind a shell, then you’re missing out on many of the beauties of existence. Throw away your shell, and learn to live a full and satisfying life!

Christian H. Godefroy was born on October 25, 1948. His father, from Paris, was in the mechanical field. From him, Christian learned that everything can be repaired, that every problem has a solution. His mother also provided him with fantastic learning tools: reading is a marvelous way to learn and dream, and writing a tremendous way to explore your feelings – in fact, the only way permitted in his family.
His father considered criticism to be the ultimate form of cleverness, while his mother was very anxious. At school,
Christian’s performance was considered very poor — but he was the best in mathematics and French (his native language).
Being very shy and unhappy, but nonetheless sure that life had shortcuts to happiness, prosperity and freedom, Christian was fortunate to discover self-improvement very early in his life.
Leaving university to work in network marketing, he founded his own company — a discount card — which failed, and he wasted all his money.
He married, and fathered a son, Cyril, but the marriage ended 4 years later. He founded a training company with two friends. He taught public speaking, self-improvement and mind dynamics to more than 6,000 attendees. He took a keen interest in attending many seminars.
During this period, he wrote “Mind Dynamics”, his first book, which sold 150,000 copies.
He then started a publishing company, and this is still active today and has published more than a hundred books. He initiated CORESPRIT, an annual meeting of all self-improvement leaders, with thousand of visitors.
After selling his very successful publishing company, he returned to writing. At this time, he also started this web site: “Positive-Club”.
He is the author of many books, including “Mind Dynamics”, “Time Management System“, “How to Write Letters That Sell”, “Help Yourself Through Self-Hypnosis”, “How to Get an Amazing Memory”, “The Complete, Self -Affirming Powerful Quotation Encyclopaedia”. Most of his books have been translated into other languages, e.g. Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, German and Japanese.
