About this listen
Some people - a sizeable minority - prefer to avoid the limelight, tend to listen more than they speak, feel alone in large groups, and require lots of private time to restore their energy. Often they feel different, not right, less than. But as Marti Olsen Laney proves, that is far from the truth.
The Introvert Advantage dispels common myths about introverts - they’re not necessarily shy, aloof, or antisocial - and explains how they are hardwired from birth to focus inward, so outside stimulation such as chitchat, phone calls, parties, or office meetings can easily become "too much". Most importantly, it thoroughly refutes many introverts’ belief that something is wrong with them. Instead, it helps them recognize their inner strengths - their analytical skills, ability to think outside the box, and strong powers of concentration. It provides tools to improve relationships with partners, kids, colleagues, and friends, while offering dozens of tips, including eight ways to showcase their abilities at work and strategies for socializing. In short, The Introvert Advantage shows introverts how to take advantage of their special qualities not only to survive in an extrovert-oriented world, but to thrive.

“Introverts tend to run cool and chill easily.”
“One of the reasons introverts can have trouble sleeping is because they have such active brains! They are constantly bombarded with a variety of stimuli, from the inner as well as the outer world. They can't switch their minds off, shut out the world around them or quiet their inner voices.”
Introverts are never less alone than when alone. Our words come haltingly. With our hearts beating fast and our minds misgiving sadly, extroverts only see a sad torpor, an unchangeable indifference. Yet, we have strength of will and depth of purpose.
We are capable of rich imaginations. The results attained by us are brought about by simple diligence and activity. We are more chary of new company, more calculating of our words. However, we have deep and solid friendships.
We have been created for a splendid purpose. Everybody has meaning in life & should pursue it faithfully.
I read this kind and sensible book very thankfully. I understood it, and I am very much obliged.
