Light on science, adequate introduction

A lightweight introduction to introverts and extroverts. As someone who has already read extensively on introversion, I found this book far Too light on science, with, inadequate references. Did not answer my questions about brain function. For the experienced reader for a more thorough dive Instead I recommend starting with Quiet by Susan Cain.

Rather simple.

I was going to put it 3 stars, but at least is not boring and it's easy to read.
Why 4 and not 5? It lacks depth. I'm into pop science, but this reads like an essay for school...

It wasn’t rich of information

You flip through pages in order to find a new information or idea, but it happens rarely. It was too abroad of subjects and I know organized I may call it cut precious

3.4 star
این کتاب ضمن واکاوی ویژگی های شخصیتی درون گرایان و برون گرایان از حیث بیولوژیکی و روانشناختی توانمندی ها و نقاط ضعف و قوت شخصیتی هر گروه را با استناد به تحقیقات انجام شده بیان می کند
خواننده بعد از خواندن این کتاب دو دریافت دارد
اول اینکه در می یابد که خودش جزء کدام دسته از افراد هست
دوم اینکه برای بهتر زندگی کردن و برقراری تعامل و روابط سازنده با دیگران چه اقدامی باید انجام دهد
اصولا کتابهایی که با موضوع توسعه فردی شناخته می شوند ما را به خود شناسی وا می دارند... به جای اینکه ما خود را در میان وقایع و اتفاقات جاری زندگی بشناسیم( که ممکن است هیچ وقت تجربه نکنیم)، می توانیم باخواندن این گونه کتابها نسبت به ویژگی ها و توانمندی ها ، استعداد ها و نقاط ضعف و تاریک شخصیتی خود اطلاعات کسب کنیم.... می دانیم که آگاهی ضلع اصلیه خوب زیستن است و ما با خواندن می توانیم خودمان را رشد دهیم تا به خوب زیستن و معنادار زیستن برسیم

meandering

This book was confused as to what it wanted to be. it started as an attempt to break stereotypes of what an introvert is and that intrversion is a spectrum of traits.

Then suddenly it retreats back to the stereotypes it deprecated and fave tips to "cure" you of these traits.

A few interesting studies in an otherwise bland read.

Was the editor on vacation?

This book was full of repetition, poorly written, and badly organized. I’m so glad it’s over. The worst thing was that the author says to accept who you are, but includes a chapter on how to change from an introvert to an extrovert. Rubbish!

[Shannon Paquette · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love learning about the brain. Although written with surface, layman explanations, this book was very readable and effectively explains the basics of introversion, extroversion, and as the title suggests, everything in between.

[Kate Pearson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was very interesting and a fast read. It answered some questions about some personality traits I was confused about.

I wouldn't bother reading it. You will learn more after a quick search on the internet.

It was alright, only really stated the obvious

작년에 읽었는데 다시 보니 읽은 기억이 안 난다. 신기한 책이구먼.

The why behind the what

I have this book 4 stars because at first the ideas seemed too disjointed and random. The author seems, at the beginning, to talk more about extroverts. As you get more further into the book things become more clear as to the author's intentions. You can't describe one without comparing to the other. The part of the book that I found most helpful was the last chapter. In this chapter, the author gives tips for how an introvert can have more social interactions without draining their 'social battery'.

Science of Introverts - second read through

This was my second read through, and it was just as good.

It reinforced some things I picked up in the first read. There were also somethings that came out that I did not pick up on during the first read.

[Linda Rose · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent book!

If you think you might be an introvert, read this book! It will make you feel more comfortable with yourself, and it's based on solid scientific research.

Put my experience on the page......

Right on with introversion...energy is so important. I call it a social"hangover" when my battery runs low.......I recommend it this book.
