Introvert's Guide To Success In An Extrovert's World: How To Take Advantage Of Your Inner Power & Quiet Genius

by Seth Cohen

You know you would never do that because you are an introvert. That doesn't mean you are not tired of being labelled as a loner, anti-social or that you are seen to have some type of personality defect that needs to be cured. When did quiet become an abnormality? Sadly since the beginning of time it seems. The people on the outside edge of the social circles or “quiet ones” have always been taking the brunt of everyone’s misunderstanding and ridicule. There is nothing wrong with being an introvert in a predominately extrovert world so don't believe the hype. There are many advantages introverts enjoy actually and they are revealed inside. What if there was a way for you to release your fears of social gatherings and even enjoy them? How about excelling at public speaking leaving those extroverts dumbfounded as to who you just became? Or mingling with the extroverts without them even caring that you are an introvert , all the while enjoying yourself? What if you could do all this without giving up who you are? It is important to introverts to be true to themselves and trying to be artificial or fake causes them great pain. Does that sound like you? You might be an Introvert if… The author is an introvert that people close to him would describe as an extrovert. That is because he, not unlike you possibly, spent many years in a career that made him be something he was not naturally good at doing. Managing a mulit-million dollar company, dealing with hundreds of people daily and handling over fifty employees schedules, personal development and at the end of the day their problems. If you are a true introvert you may have screamed just reading that. Needless to say he is no longer there and is happily creating books in his basement while still enjoying socializing with friends. Contrary to popular belief, introverts do have friends. The main difference is most of our friends are true friends that we deeply care about. The author discovered even more about himself and being an introvert while writing this book. He believes it has helped him leverage his introvert strengths even more and has catapulted his success to new heights. It can do the same for you. Maybe you suspect you are an introvert and have been struggling with what exactly that means. Or you could be dating an introvert and want to understand them better. This book is for you, all of you. The introvert, closet introverts and the lovers of introverts. If you are happy struggling along as an introvert trying to fit in with the extroverts then this book isn't for you. If you want to take that inner power and quiet genius and create all the success you could ever dream of along with the extroverts then what are you waiting for?

The book contained a good breadth of info, but lacked much depth. This would have been a nice series of 5 or 6 web or magazine articles, but when I read a non-fiction book, I expect more. References to actual other resources (beyond quoting a dictionary for a definition), examples of the advice given in action, etc.

There is some useful advice (and a few smile out loud moments in reading), but while the author says he kept his book brief to cut the signal to noise ratio he found in most books, I found it was a bit TOO shallow for a book. He kept referencing how introverts like to go deeper, and yet seemed to eschew that in his actual writing. Most of the advice, also, is pretty simplistic to anyone who's done any reading (or self-analyzing!) on the topic.

All this said, I'd recommend this to a younger person (teens/college age) struggling with figuring out why they don't fit a stereotypical social model that assumes everyone WANTS to be an extrovert, but for adults who've lived with themselves for a significant amount of time, there's little that you haven't already figured out through trial and error and self-reflection.

Very good read!

If your questioning certain aspects of your life that you can't exactly grasp, then your most likely an introvert. Don't jump in to the book and read it full through, but read a chapter and if you feel a breakthrough... Stop reading. Ponder on what that breakthrough means to you.

This is not dazzling prose and it is a bit derivative of other books on the subject of introversion. Better to read Susan Cain's excellent book on the subject.

Stereotypes

Why does the author keep assuming all introverts idea of a good time is binge watching Netflix and eating ice cream?
