520    "Stage fright is one of the human psyche's deepest fears. 
       Laurence Olivier learned to adapt to it, as have actors 
       Salma Hayek and Hugh Grant. Musicians such as George 
       Harrison and Adele have battled it and learned to cope. 
       Others never do: In 1973, Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star 
       pitcher Steve Blass suddenly could no longer find the 
       strike zone; his career ended soon after. Surveys in the 
       United States repeatedly rank public speaking as one of 
       the top fears, affecting up to 74 percent of people. Sara 
       Solovitch studied piano as a young child and fell in love 
       with music. At ten, she played Bach and Mozart in her 
       hometown's annual music festival, but was overwhelmed by 
       fear. As a teen, she attended Eastman School of Music, 
       where stage fright led her to give up aspirations of 
       becoming a professional pianist. In her late fifties, Sara
       gave herself a one-year deadline to tame performance 
       anxiety and play before an audience. She resumed music 
       lessons, while exploring meditation, exposure therapy, 
       cognitive therapy, biofeedback, beta blockers, and other 
       remedies. She performed in airports, hospitals, and 
       retirement homes before renting a public hall and 
       performing for fifty guests on her sixtieth birthday. 
       Using her own journey as inspiration, Solovitch has 
       written a thoughtful and insightful examination of the 
       myriad causes of stage fright and the equally diverse ways
       to overcome it, and a tribute to pursuing personal growth 
       at any age"--|cProvided by publisher.
