Welcome to Litsy!

Calm yet powerful: explores introversion‘s undervalued strengths, why society celebrates charisma, and how solitude and introspection can fuel creativity and impact. Insightful, validating, and quietly empowering.

An in depth exploration on introversion in a world that currently values extroversion.

This was fascinating! A lot of information, along with personal anecdotes made this an interesting read. I wish I had found this book when I was in high school when I was absolutely convinced I was broken in some way, because I was so introverted. There‘s value in how we see the world. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

A book about nice people trying to make their way into the world. Leonard and Hungry Paul are two friends that live their lives in a simpler kind of way, they are not very experienced in the world, but they have a clarity about how they see it that benefits everyone in their lives and the reader. Very funny and easy read.

This was really interesting. It isn't just a self help book - there's a lot on the science of introversion, and how research suggests that it's hard-wired into people's brains, and telling introverts to 'just be more sociable' is unhelpful and damaging.

Books 9 & 10. Two funny and relaxing little reads with some great #bookblanket #readingblanket2025 #crochet color opportunities.
My squares are a bit crooked and wonky, but I‘m hoping that this year long project will help me improve my crocheting.
Plus , that 💩 will block right out. 😹😹😹

Rebecca the #booksnake is sporting 10 stripes now (I actually frogged her and started her body over and am much happier). This is everything I read in January.

Good advice!

Being an introvert myself, I found some encouraging conclusions in this book.

“Introversion- along with its cousins sensitivity, seriousness, and shyness- is now a second-class personality trait, somewhere between a disappointment and a pathology. Introverts living in the Extrovert Ideal are like women in a man's world, discounted because of a trait that goes to the core of who they are."

Was reading this book on my phone. It was slow but had a very interesting premise. However Apple Books decided to remove my download multiple times and I kept losing my page so I‘ve currently given up for now!
