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.

An excellent read - especially for me as an extrovert

I read this as I wanted to understand introversion. I am an extrovert and working with introverts at work intrigued me. This should be compulsory reading for all managers to help them understand introversion - how to better engage with introverts & how to get the best out of them. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Hit the mark!

Thoroughly enjoy this. As an introvert myself found it helped me greatly in my journey to understand how to live my life in a more fulfilled way now that I am in my late fortys.

All introverts have to read this book.

So enlightening understanding the introvert and extrovert differences more than the traditional where you get your energy from.

Understanding how the brain works, what the differences are and what typical introverts and extroverts reactions are was so eye opening.

Would be just as useful for extroverts to read as well to understand how they think too.

Was so good I will be listening to it again

Not very informative

If you ready have a somewhat good understanding of introversion, DO NOT READ THIS. The only reason I'm not giving a 1 star is because of the fantastic voice over.
