Introvert Power
Introvert Power: Why Your Inner Life Is Your Hidden Strength | Laurie A Helgoe
8 posts | 8 read | 22 to read
"Vivid and engaging."Publishers Weekly, starred review Embrace the Power Inside You It's no wonder that introversion is making headlineshalf of all Americans are introverts. But if that describes youare 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

For my second #bookreport I‘m sad to say I failed hard on my forecast (which was to read In Cold Blood - I only read about 30 pages of that)... but I did get a surprising amount of reading in despite the week being pretty dang busy otherwise. Two audio books and a handful of graphic novels. Not too shabby!

Bookzombie It looks to me like you had a good week! 👏🏻👏🏻 4y

For those who gain strength in solitude, Laurie Helgoe provides insight and several methods for surviving in a society that seems to focus on the extroverted. She reminds me that there's nothing wrong with enjoying my own company, and it's okay to protect my own time.

Every introvert should read this. This book is all about embracing your introversion, rather than adapting it to an extroverted world. There is a whole chapter about saying no to a party invite without making excuses 😂 You don‘t have to go out. You don‘t have to talk. Just do you and be happy 😊 👍🏻

This book made me feel so understood. I love that she had actionable items throughout that you could use to help yourself embrace your introversion.

Ok, I'm in! I'm really bummed because I missed the Daiya pizza sale at my supermarket by one day so I have no snacks! But I've got 4 books I'm currently reading and the introvert power is strong in this house.
