The Introvert Advantage - Marti Olsen Laney

  • Take care of yourself
  • Nourish your inner world
  • Occasionally come out to outer world to gain new experiences and to contribute 
  • Reward yourself on accomplishments
  • Do not think too much on bad decisions or mistakes made in the past or even recently. Be gentle to yourself.
According to the author, one in three or four are introverted. Introversion defines the temperament of a person and has physiological and psychological aspects to it. And introversion is innate and not something that can be changed in his/her lifetime. It is not something to worry about, but to celebrate. He/she feels more drained and overstimulated in social environment where extroverts thrive. Introverts need to take regular breaks and plan things ahead. They feel ashamed and guilt about their temperament.

There is one more popular book by Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking. From the review, looks like that is also a wonderful book to read.
