Introverts are powerful observers and creators. If you are an introvert, this book will show you how to tap into your inherent introvert strengths and awaken your potential using mindfulness meditations and cognitive behavioral techniques. In a world that favors the outgoing, gregarious extrovert, being an introvert can be difficult. But the truth is that introverts have distinct advantagesas long as they know how to use them. Unlike extroverts, who draw their energy from social interaction, your energy comes from quiet reflection. Is it any wonder then, that mindfulness can help you hone your natural talents? In The Awakened Introvert, mindfulness expert and card-carrying introvert Arnie Kozak provides a comprehensive set of mindfulness and cognitive behavioral tools to help you maximize your introvert strengths (such as rich access to your interior) while minimizing your introvert weaknesses (such as a tendency toward worry and rumination). In the book, youll learn powerful strategies to help you monitor your energy; recharge after social interactions; improve social and communication skills; and take advantage of your capacity for quiet reflection, and sweet, sweet solitude. If youre looking to unlock the full potential of your unique introvert brain, this book provides a fun, practical, and authentic users manual.

Yesterday I subbed 5 different grades and ate lunch with strangers. I was just on hold, ON THE PHONE, with and then spoke to 2 different people at ITunes and 1 person at PayPal. Can I be done? If anyone knocks on the door today I'm hiding.

CocoReads Right there with you! 7y
[DELETED] 3803335244 Haha, I feel that way everyday! I am just very anti social 😂 7y
laurieluna I battle woth my partner against just phoning the takeaway! I hate talking on the phone. Which is probably in part down to working in call centres for around 4 years. I still get anxiety dreams about going back on the phones even though I don't work there anymore 😣 so you're definitely not alone! 7y

My bathtub reading selection from last nite. The Awakened Introvert has started out as good as I had hoped it would be. 👍👍👍👍

Zelma That floor tile! 😍 7y
CatchMyBookBreath @Zelma lol Yes, our house has pink bathrooms circa 1950's. I didn't realize prior to this that there are pink bathroom fans out there! Lol 🎀🛁🚽 7y
Zelma Pink bathrooms aren't necessarily my thing, but I love seeing vintage tile in great shape. Any vintage fixtures that were taken care of and still functional are up my alley. (edited) 7y

Tip for introverts. Always volunteer to be on the social committee. Then, you can go to events, but spend your time scooping salads so you don't actually have to socialize.

BookFreakOut Brilliant! I did this at a dance in college and the group leader eventually threw me out from behind the refreshment table to go "have fun." Ummm...this is my idea of fun! 8y
BookishMarginalia That's what I did all through high school 🙂 8y

DebinHawaii Hah! I hit socialization saturation at parties and head for the kitchen to do dishes. My friends are constantly trying to chase me out to 'have fun' too! 8y
