yiqinteow 's review for:
I wavered between an introverted and extroverted identity throughout my growing up years. As much as I enjoy companionship, I do find solace in being left alone, going solo. Chatty and noisy I may be at times, I was never an outspoken individual. This doesn’t mean I’m not opinionated - I’m adamant about voicing my perspectives where comfortable, other times I choose to hold back my thoughts.
The book speaks about a world of extroverted idealism which resonated well - gregarious personalities as role models of leadership and success. However, the much-studied and known but overshadowed truth is that it’s never an either-or, ‘which is better’ sort of comparison. While the author offers fresh perspectives on the biases against introversion, it feels at times like a cult book. Perhaps I need to read a book on extroversion to balance it out, corroborate/refute my takeaways from this read. Nonetheless, worth a read!
