"Don't think of introversion as something that needs to be cured".
This is one of my favourite non-fiction books I've read so far.
As an introvert, this book really stayed with me and spoke to me. It really hit the nail on the head when explaining introverts and introversion on a whole, especially highlighting the fact that being an introvert and being shy are two different things. It also emphasizes that you can be an introvert and still like to go out and socialize with people, but your social batteries may get drained more quickly than others. That some people just have a strong inner world that allows them to genuinely enjoy their solitude without feeling lonely. This is exactly how I am. I don't mind going out and talking to people, I just don't want to do it for a protracted period of time, all the time. And it's not something I want to do everyday.
The author uses facts and statistics to explore the various strengths of being an introvert and why it shouldn't be considered as "something to fix". I found the book quite balanced as well, in terms of explaining the strengths of both introverts and extroverts and why both persons can be successful in their own way, and on their own terms.
This book is an important one, a book that I think both introverts and extroverts should read. I learned so much from this book and will forever recommend it.
