sfmobink 's review for:
I could hardly put this fascinating book about introverts down. I learned about it from an article claiming public relations (my profession) is a great field for introverts --as an introvert I always wondered how I got caught up in my job and why I love it so and now I know! (And no, the vast majority of introverts are NOT shy.)
American and European societies revere the extrovert, but the truth is that deep-thinking, insightful introverts, through quiet persistence (think Gandhi, Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt, Albert Einstein and authors too numerous to name) have often exerted a powerful influence. I was intrigued with the sections in the book that compared and contrasted Asian societies (with their reverence for introversion) with extrovert societies.
If you are an introvert, have an introvert child who is one, are partnered with or work with one (and since a huge proportion of the population are introverts, odds are this means you!) check out this interesting, empowering book!
