This book provides a thorough review of both introversion and extroversion. The well-researched review details historical, current and ongoing research into the subject of introversion. Many examples, and reference to well-known individuals are provided. I found most interesting the in-depth section concerning the correlation between high reactivity and introversion. Other topics covered, as they relate to introversion, include shyness, guilt, conscientiousness, decision-making style, and reasons for society's extroversion bias.

I was thankful that this book was not particularly repetitive or unduly lengthened with unnecessary filler, as many books of this type are. I found nothing truly surprising, but some helpful management strategies were provided. Strengths and limitations of introverts and introverts in the corporate world are discussed, and the author demonstrated the benefits of more fully integrating the strengths of both, for better results. The author also provides insight and suggestions on how to parent an introverted child.
