Vinny Guadagnino, star of Jersey Shore, discusses his lifelong
struggle to control the effects of social anxiety and stress, and
teaches readers the tools and techniques he's used to stay calm and
maintain his sanity in all types of crazy situations--both on and off
the show.
For more than a decade Vinny has been keeping a secret from his family,
his friends, his castmates, and his fans: the fact that he's not as
carefree and stress-free as he appears. Vinny suffers from panic attacks
that strike without warning. They plagued him throughout his teens,
forced him to move home from college, and tormented him during the first
season of Jersey Shore. After fleeing the set during the filming of
the fifth season of the show, Vinny realized he could no longer keep his
problems to himself. It was time to speak out.
In this book, Vinny discusses how he's confronted his demons head on,
and he gives readers the tools to do so themselves. For the millions of
his fans who are also feeling overwhelmed with the world around them and
by their own thoughts, Vinny offers a practical plan for taking control
of your life, your body, and your mind.
