As a highly sensitive introvert, I really enjoyed this book and could relate to a lot of facts and theories.
I’m against the point that aids the Darwin’s evolution theory which was mentioned between the lines. Also the book was 75% featuring introverts in business’s and law scenarios (obviously the authors back ground) but I wish if it added some other fields like medicine..etc

I look forward to revisiting this book in future stages of my life. This helped me understand a lot of how I respond to stimuli, mask my introverted traits, and how when I was younger I externally seemed more extroverted and now that i’m older, i’ve  learned to advocate for myself and do more of what I want (read in silence!)

If you consider yourself to be an introvert, it's a must-read. You'll finally stop to feel like a weirdo because of that. And if your family members/friends are extroverted, you can always loan the book to them ;)

Not one of those 'things-you-already-knew' books. Offers new perspective for extroverts (let's face it - we all know at least one who !needs! to read this). Susan describes and tries to explain basic differences between introversion and extroversion, all backed up by a bunch of scientific research.

Very good, changed my perception on a few things. I know some organisations that need to read it, Teach First for example.

Would have liked slightly more on value of extroverts beyond the workplace and career prospects. Also would have spent longer defining terms at the beginning to save the gradual drip feed of a definition.

Overall it was brilliant!
