I enjoyed this book. I am definitely an introvert and could relate to a lot of these experiences. I often get feedback about being too softly spoken and it's hard not to take it personally. But I think the framing of sometimes being able to do things that are hard and uncomfortable when you feel real passion about them was helpful to me. The part about introverted children in school made me really sad. I was constantly underestimated and passed over in school because I wasn't the one shouting out. I think presentations shouldn't be a required part of a grade, and that schools definitely need to adapt to ensure they are getting the best out of every child not just the loudest.

I appreciated the message of the book (Value introverts!), and enjoyed hearing more about some of the research being done, but overall found the presentation simplistic.

I’m an introvert, but I feel like this wasn’t what I was expecting.

Very insightful! It made me reflect about my own personality and the one of close friends. I learned about patterns that exist in our society that I haven’t noticed e.g. in education or in the design of offices.
