Reading this book was a very validating experience for me, an introvert.

Very interesting and quite complete, it helped me understand my personality and inspired me to try things out. I might make some friends and family read some of it when I want to explain something about myself to them !

As I was reading this book, I kept thinking about Psalm 139: 13-14. God created us with different temperates: introversion and extroversion. Both temperates have pros and cons. We need both introverts and extroverts to survive. (These are my personal thought and were not necessarily mentioned in the book.)

This was really good in depth look at a common topic in social psychology - introversion/extroversion. The book focuses on the nuance of introversion & important role the quality brings to our worlds. Cain is very thorough in outlining the psychological research & social phenomena that led to the esteem of extroversion. I am a true introvert but know I have extroverted qualities I am comfortable with...I think many people feel they don't fall into a polarized category - this book does a great job of proving a more robust understanding of the personality structures. A must read for anyone who is an introvert or who parents, lives with, works with or supervises one!

This book was recommended to me by 2 mentors. Introverts are needed to bring balance and insight to situations. Learning to love that I’m like that is what this book helped me to do.

2 stars - OK, boring, wouldn’t recommend. I needed a “Q” book for the alphabet challenge so maybe if you’re into these types of books, then you may enjoy it more.
