Synopsis

It's no wonder that introversion is making headlines—half of all Americans are introverts. But if that describes you, are you making the most of your inner strength?

In this book, psychologist and introvert Laurie Helgoe, PhD, unveils the genius of introversion. Introverts gain energy and power through reflection and solitude. Our culture, however, is geared toward the extrovert. The pressure to get out there and get happier can lead people to think that an inward orientation is a problem instead of an opportunity.

Helgoe shows that the exact opposite is true: introverts can capitalize on this inner source of power. Introvert Power is a blueprint for how introverts can take full advantage of this hidden strength in daily life.

If there were more rating stars, I would give them all to this book.

It was like finding an old friend and myself at the same ti......more

Goodreads review by Liz on April 28, 2017

Quite an informative and enthusiastic book. It is encouraging introversy and explaining to a person what makes an introvert. Certainly useful in case you aren't sure whether you are one or not or have no idea how to deal with your introversy, however less so if you are aware and many of the suggeste......more

Goodreads review by Daniela on January 13, 2015

This is the third book about introversion that I have read (the others being The Introvert Advantage: How to Thrive in an Extrovert World and Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking) and my favourite of the three. Where "Quiet" focuses more on explaining and justifying our c......more
