Words such as "introvert" and "extrovert" are becoming more and more popular. And if you think the former is bad and the latter is good, then you should definitely read this book.
How can you be humble and confident at the same time?
Nowadays, sociable and cheerful people are valued much more than brooding and uncommunicative people. Although, why only in ours? It has always been that way. In modern psychology, such people are called extroverts and introverts. And if extroverts don't have to do anything to feel comfortable in society, then for introverts this can be a difficult task. Can't pinpoint yourself to one of the types? Perhaps it will help you. And this book will tell you how to apply in practice the peculiarities of your character.
The book compares these two types of people head-on and shows the merits and demerits of both, but still focuses more on introverts and how to make their features a secret weapon.
Our society is ruled by a value system that I call the Ideal Extrovert, or the ubiquitous belief that the ideal self should be outgoing, dominant, and confident in the spotlight.
But what about those people who feel differently? The book focuses on people who have at least some of the following qualities: shyness, modesty, love of reading, thoughtfulness, and seriousness. And the main task of the book is to analyze the difference between "a man of action" and a "man of thought" and to prove that the ideal option is to balance between these two sides or to be an ambivert.
Being an introvert these days is, first of all, not fashionable. We're in love with TV ideals that preach sociability, fun and self-confidence from screens, so what else can the rest of us do? This book is suitable primarily for all those who are wondering what is wrong with me and why I do not fit into the world around me? After reading it, you will understand that introversion is a gift, but not a punishment.
