Fascinating reading, whether you identify as an introvert or extrovert. I'm as introverted as they come, and I don't feel quite so weird after reading this.
It was a good book but after awhile really dense and bogged down with extra details. I’ll probably pick it back up to finish for the sake of finishing.

Stand out line.
‘The secret of life is to put yourself in the right light.’

This was interesting because it brought up a lot of things about myself that I hadn't really considered. Also, in talking about introverted kids, I felt like the book was very insightful. Not awesome, but worth reading.

Longer than it needed to be, and at times I felt like the author was exaggerating or leaving things out to make her point. However, valuable ideas and research made it worth listening to.
-There are measurable consequences to society when we always let the loudest ideas prevail.
-At the beginning, the author stated "if you get one thing from this book, I hope it is a newfound sense of entitlement to be yourself." At the end, "There are many different kinds of powers in this world. The trick is not to amass them all, but to use well the ones you've been granted." This book did a good job of showing the value in letting people contribute in the ways that best suit them.
-It definitely made me hate business culture more than I already did.
-Whether your an introvert or extrovert, studies show that spending time independently focused on an activity is a vital part of gaining mastery. Very much supported the ideas from Deep Work.
-At various women's events, it's common to hear something along the lines of "Men speak with confidence even when they aren't sure, women hedge their language even when they are sure. Be more confident, ladies!" And I always want to yell "Actually, men should be less confident!" Like women who are encouraged to take on 'masculine' traits, the burden is always on introverts to be more extroverted.
