Format:Paperback
I read another book about introverts first (Introvert Advantage), but this was definitely my favourite of the two (Introvert Advantage is worth reading as well, but this book felt more relevant to me). I didn't like the cover photo (initially) but it grew on me over time (not that it matters much anyway).
I bought this book because I was struggling to understand why I felt differently to my friends - they wanted to meet up and go out as much as possible, sing and dance etc, whereas I'm happy enjoying my own company, reading, or just doing my own thing. It was really getting to me why I wasn't enjoying all the things everyone else seemed to enjoy. I felt like I didn't fit in. But this book helped me to understand that I'm not weird, I'm an introvert. I would recommend it to anyone who feels like they don't fit in when out socialising, or who feels awkward at parties and wants to go home before everyone else. It helps you to accept the way you are instead of trying to fight it and feeling bad about yourself when you can't fake being an extrovert. It's been therapy for me. I'm glad I'm an introvert and this book helped me realise that.

Being an Introvert I found this book incredibly insightful and interesting to read. It helped me to further understand and accept myself the way I am regardless of social pressures. I thought it was well structured and easy to read, and the quotations at the beginning of every chapter are just splendid.
Although this was the first book I have read on Introversion I would nonetheless recommend it to a fellow Introvert who needs guidance or anyone who wishes to gain insight into the depths of an Introverted personality.
Also, it's nice to know you're not alone.

This book brought me to a greater place of self acceptance and understanding within me of who I am and why it is unnecessary to feel the need to change in order to seem successful and 'Fully Alive'.
I developed long forgotten creativity just by following this new acceptance and allowing myself the time inside I need and long for unabashedly, which in turn boosted my confidence and sense of self worth. I then took this acceptance to some get-togethers and managed to feel much more self-respect and centredness than I was previously used to.
I have not finished the book yet because I'm still following the wave of interconnected events that were sparked by my beginning to come home and feel more than ok about it.
It has not fixed my life, it has enhanced it already. There is much reference to the USA and virtually none to the UK and one gets a sense of an individuals perspective of an almost biased nature effected by the authors life experiences that may vary from others and still I gratefully received the messages that clearly related to me with ease and I will enjoy to continue reading this book.
