"Extroverts have to read this remarkable book too. It's not just that we'll better understand the other 50 percent of the population but that they have so much to teach us. The party always ends, after all. Being alone is unavoidable. Helgoe and the introverts among us know a secret: It's after all the music and dancing stops that we often become our most graceful selves." - Ethan Watters, author of Crazy Like Us: The Globalization of the American Psyche, "Laurie Helgoe's Introvert Power is The Bhagavad Gita for introverts....Laurie fans the embers of wisdom in each of us to honor yearnings that serve as both compass and anchor. I'm now giving myself permission to get a lock for my office door and replace my reading chair with something that would delight my younger self. I owe it to her." - Mary Hershey, author for children & young adults, co-creater of Shrinking Violets, Marketing for Introverts, "I love Laurie Helgoe's book. I just wish I'd had it when I was growing up; it would have reduced the number of decades it took me to treasure my own introversion. Now as I read each page I'm saying "Yes!"" - Josephine Humphreys, novelist and winner of the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature, "Like a modern-day Thoreau, psychologist Laurie Helgoe leads us to a tranquil Walden Pond within our soul, and shows us the blessings of solitude we can find there." - Stephen Bertman, author of The Eight Pillars of Greek Wisdom, ""Most Americans, whether introverted or extroverted, have learned to look like extroverts," writes psychologist (and introvert) Heilgoe in this well-written and well-reasoned analysis that challenges the perception of introverts as a silent, problematic minority... Readers will find much insight, as well as a comforting sense of being understood and validated." - Publishers Weekly, STARRED review, "It changed my life. No kidding. Dr. Helgoe's book opened the door to discovery that has helped free me be myself." - Sophia Dembling, author of The Introvert's Way: Living a Quiet Life in a Noisy World

Synopsis
"Vivid and engaging."-- Publishers Weekly , starred review Embrace the Power Inside You 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? Psychologist and introvert Laurie Helgoe 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. Revolutionary and invaluable, Introvert Power includes ideas for how introverts can learn to: -Claim private space -Bring a slower tempo into daily life -Deal effectively with parties, interruptions, and crowds Quiet is might. Solitude is strength. Introversion is power. "A modern-day Thoreau."--Stephen Bertman, author of The Eight Pillars of Greek Wisdom, Learn to embrace the power inside you in a world geared towards extroverts in this introvert book written by psychologist and fellow introvert, Laurie Helgoe. Introverts gain energy and power through reflection and solitude. Our culture, however, tends to celebrate extroversion. 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. If you're looking for books on self-confidence and introversion, Introvert Power is a blueprint for how introverts can take full advantage of this hidden strength in daily life and move more confidently in the world. Revolutionary and invaluable, Introvert Power includes ideas for how introverts can learn to- Claim private space Bring a slower tempo into daily life Deal effectively with parties, interruptions, and crowds Quiet is might. Solitude is strength. Introversion is power., A refreshed and updated edition of the 17k+ selling book with great reviews A self-help book for introverts, treating introversion not as a hurdle to overcome but a personal attribute to embrace. Unlike another book in the category, The Introvert Advantage, this title tells readers not how to adapt and blend in, but how to thrive as they are., It doesn't focus on extroverts and how to become like them, but how to take advantage of the fact that introversion is an opportunity and not a weakness. It also talks about how readers can become authentically and confidently introverted, discusses society's ideas about what is healthy re: intro and extroversion, and look at America's values in contrast with a society like Japan. America is reportedly a nation of extroverts, but the latest research shows that more than half of Americans are in fact introverts and of course many introverts like to read, and will be drawn to this title. Helgoe will strengthen the draw of this book by addressing the huge variation of introverts, detailing the different shades of introversion. Introvert Power will become a shelf staple as the go-to guide for introverts that's practical and proactive., The original guide to claiming your power as an introvert!

Discover Your Hidden Strengths: Unleash the power of your inner world and learn how to leverage your introverted nature to achieve personal and professional success.

    Excellent book for understanding your 'introverted' nature.

    For years people liked to label me as a depressed person when in fact I was just a different type of personality that is more introspective of life rather than an outward expression of my person. Better than seeing a therapist. Read this book.

    Definitely used with stains on the cover...

    Definitely used with stains on the cover that could not be easily removed. Given that the gist of the book is obvious to those who are aware of the differences between predominant personality types, not entirely sure this book needs to exist except perhaps to educate clueless extroverts.
