Summary of Ellen Hendriksen's How to Be Yourself
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 At the dance studio, Jim was a regular. Every Sunday evening, Tomas held a group lesson that morphed into a social dance. That evening, he asked everyone to clear the floor except Mayumi, who had a surprise performance for them all. #2 Jim’s mother, Maeve, was a fear of being judged by the neighbors. She was always scrutinizing her sons, making sure they were clean and presentable. #3 Maeve got more selfconscious when she went out alone. She would make Jim and Ryan go to church, but she never went herself. She was too scared to go to church and see people. #4 Anxiety is genetic, and there is a four to sixfold increased risk of having an anxiety disorder if you have a parent who has one. However, it is still unclear whether anxiety is caused by the large effects of a few genes or the small effects of many.
