    This is review on Susan Caine's book on introverts and introversion. It's recommended for everyone who thinks that they are uniquely introvert and alone...there are plenty of introverts out there and in current world that expects people to speak up and speak louder, we seem to be the odd one and quite loss of what to do. Read this book to get insight into our introvert-self and find that we still can remain true of that introversion and be proud and even leverage on that uniqueness. I've recommended this book to introverts friends and colleagues and even to extroverts ones, so that we can each better understand one another.

    Introverts
    Introvertsmay have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they tend to dislike conflict. Many have horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussion. Pg 226

    Man of action

    Extroverts
    extroverts are people who will add life to your party and laugh generously at your jokes. They tend to be assertive, dominant, and in need of great company. They think out loud and on their feet; they prefer talking to listening, rarely find themselves loss at words, and occasionally blurt out things they never meant to say. They are comfortable with conflict but not with solitude. (page 11)

    Who are you introvert? Extrovert? Ambivert? Are you an introvert in some situations and extrovert in others? What about important people in your life? Can you think of a time in your life when being an introvert proved to be an advantage? If you are an introvert, what do you find most challenging about working with extroverts? If you are extrovert, what do you find most challenging about working with introverts? Do you think your job suits your temperament? If not, what could you do to change things?

    Quiet quote
    Everyone shines, given the right lighting. For some, its a Broadway spotlight, for others, a lamplit desk.
