Summary: This clever and pithy book challenges introverts to take ownership of their personalities...with quiet strength. Sophia Dembling asserts that the introvert's lifestyle is not 'wrong' or lacking, as a society of extroverts would have us believe. Through a combination of personal insights and psychology, The Introvert's Way helps and encourages introverts to embrace their nature, to respect traits they may have been ashamed of and reframe them as assets. The introvert is not shy; rather, they appreciate the joys of quiet. An introvert not antisocial; instead, they enjoy recharging through time alone. By honoring what makes them unique, this astute and inspiring book challenges introverts to 'own' their introversion, igniting a quiet revolution that will change how they see themselves and how they engage with the world.--www.Amazon.com.
Library Journal Reviews
This book is a perfect example of a writer taking a "problem" that's been around for a long time, well before Carl Jung coined the term introvert. Qualities of introverts, according to Dembling, include mulling ideas over before speaking, hating the telephone, and having a wealth of creative energy under the surface. Because of her blog, The Introvert's Corner, which she writes for Psychology Today, Dembling has had an enormous outpouring of gratitude from introverts around the world. In this book she affirms the quality of introversion, and sets out to define, delineate, and understand it. The best part of the book is Dembling's turning the extrovert advantage upside down and creating a respect for this way of being in the world. It's about time!
