Knee Knocking, Hyperventilating Nerves and 7 Steps to Beat Them offers practical steps to overcome nerves before a performance, with a particular focus on public speaking. The book grew out of many Speechcraft courses, working with people ranging from anxious to terrified of public speaking. Working with these people drew on a mix of biomedical knowledge of stress through to more meditation and visualisation exercises to set yourself up for success. This is a very simple, easy-to-follow guide to overcoming nerves. The 7 steps can be implemented by anyone easily and quickly.
