Synopsis

“Introverts will love this practical and moving guide to building a career, network, and life you love.” –SUSAN CAIN, author of QuietFrom the marketing guru and host of the popular Forbes.com podcast Hiding in the Bathroom, a breakthrough introverts' guide that broadens the conversation sparked by Quiet and moves away from the ""Lean In"" approach, offering wisdom and practical tips to help listeners build strong relationships and achieve their own definition of professional success.Most ambitious people believe that reaching the peaks of success means being on 24/7—tirelessly networking, deal-making, and keynoting conferences. This is nonsense, says Morra Aarons-Mele. As an eminent entrepreneur with a flourishing business and a self-proclaimed introvert with lots of anxieties, Morra disagrees with the notion that there’s only one successful ""type"": the intense, super social, sleep-deprived mover and shaker, the person who musters endless amounts of ""grit."" Hiding in the Bathroom is her antidote for everyone who is fed up with feeling like they must always ""lean in""—who prefer those moments of hiding in the bathroom to constantly climbing the ladder or working the room.Morra knows what it takes to make your mark, and now, this entrepreneur who has boosted the online strategy of clients such as the Malala Fund, President Obama, the UN Foundation, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation shares the insights, tricks, and knowledge she’s learned. Filled with advice, exercises to help listeners evaluate their own work/life fit and manage anxiety, valuable tools, and stories of countless successful people—entrepreneurs, academics, and novices just beginning their careers—Hiding in the Bathroom empowers professionals of all ages and levels to take control and build their own versions of success. Thoughtful and practical, it is a must-have handbook for building a fantastic, prosperous career and a balanced, happy life—on your own terms.Includes an enhancement PDF.

Goodreads review by Miri on April 01, 2018

I think this book is what happens when you write a self-help book but you really wanted to write a memoir. Although the title and dust jacket text make it sound like this book is about achieving your life goals as an introvert, it’s really pretty much limited to achieving work goals, and even then m......more

Goodreads review by Peebee on September 26, 2017

This is going to be a very personal book review. Because this book became very personal to me over the course of reading it. I've known the author, Morra Aarons-Mele, for a long time through conferences, listservs and other (mostly online) interaction. She's someone about which I've experienced FOMO......more

Goodreads review by Sjancourtz on January 03, 2018

This is NOT about being an introvert! It's a very self-congratulatory book about a smart, aggressive, accomplished woman who is definitely NOT the sort of person who cowers in the bathroom. If you're an introvert looking for advice on how to succeed in an extrovert's world, this is NOT it. I heard a......more

Goodreads review by Kara on December 28, 2017

It was an entertaining read, but I didn't feel that there was a whole lot of practical advice in the book, especially if you weren't in the particular field of the author. The main message was simple, and didn't require so many pages: it's ok to be an introvert; find an environment where you can wor......more

Goodreads review by Kyla on January 29, 2020

I chose to read this book because I am an introverted teacher. I listened to this book on audio and it’s like my brain was panning for gold, only to come up with nothing of value. It was slow moving and tedious as I listened to her ideas on handling the business world as an introvert. There was a wh......more
