Book Overview

An insightful, empowering guide to making the most of your hidden strengths.

Are you energized by spending time alone? In meetings, do you need to be asked for your opinions and ideas? Do you tend to notice details that other people miss? Is your ideal celebration a small get-together rather than a big party? Do you often feel like a tortoise surrounded by hares?

The good news is, you're an introvert. The better news is that by celebrating the inner strengths and uniqueness of being introverted, The Introvert Advantage shows introverts how to work with instead of against their temperament to enjoy a well-lived life. Covering relationships, parenting--including parenting an introverted child--socializing, and the workplace, here are coping strategies, tactics for managing energy, and hundreds of valuable tips for not only surviving but truly thriving in an extrovert world.

"Filled with Aha moments of recognition, Dr. Laney's book will help millions of introverts understand why they are misunderstood, learn to appreciate who they are, and develop a just-right life in a world where extroverts once ruled." --Paul D. Tieger, coauthor of Do What You Are

"In a world of shock jocks, screaming rock stars, and sensational journalism, this book dispels the myth that only the loud and flamboyant get ahead. Its clear, step-by-step advice will help introverts recognize and capitalize on their unique strengths." --Dr. Bernardo J. Carducci, author of Shyness: A Bold New Approach

Not to be snooty or anything...

...but I along with all my fellow introverts are "da bomb." We really have something to be proud of, and something that makes us very unique. OMG! What an awesome book. I never realized that I was quite as introverted as I apparently am if you go by the little pop quizzes in the book...but that's NOT a bad thing. Introverts LOVE peace and quiet. Check 1. Introverts relish their privacy and can be quite secretive at times...

Finally, an explanation!

I am so glad that introversion is being explained, not just to people who think introverts are shy or snobbish, but also to me. I have never quite understood why I act the way I do, especially when my behavior is not the social ideal. I feel more free to be myself and not apologize for it. Most authors don't stop to talk about the massive amounts of strengths that introspective people have, rather, they treat it as a condition...

YES, But then on to which type of Introvert are you ?

I like this book. It is an excellent place to start exploring life as an Introvert, or for an Extravert to start trying to understand Introverts. Author Marti Laney sees Introversion as a personality type -- a particular collection or pattern of personality traits. Her 30-question quiz scores you on a continuum from Introverted to Extraverted. Yet a limitation shows up here, in that the Introvert prototype in this book is...

I couldn't stop reading this one....

I'm a college student that recently went away to school and it wasn't too long before I started getting cranky and depressed. Being an intovert my whole life, i figured that throwing myself into a social situation would increase my ability to like being social, but all it ever seemed to do was annoy me and make me feel like a failure because i hadn't adapted to all of my extroverted peers. I started reading this book one...

Quiet Reflection on a Noisy Planet

"Introverts are like a rechargeable battery. They need to stop expending energy and rest in order to recharge. Extroverts are like solar panels that need the sun to recharge. Extroverts need to be out and about to refuel." ~Marti Olsen Laney Imagine feeling alone in a crowd, preferring a quiet corner to the limelight and feeling overwhelmed by phones, parties and office meetings. Do people often think you are shy, aloof or...
