"Is there a hidden part of you that no one else sees? Have you ever been told you're too "quiet," "shy," "boring," or "awkward"? If so, you might be an introvert. On behalf of those who have long been misunderstood, rejected, or ignored, fellow introvert Jenn Granneman writes a compassionate vindication--exploring, discovering, and celebrating the secret inner world of introverts that, only until recently, has begun to peek out and emerge into the larger social narrative. Drawing from scientific research and interviews with hundreds of introverts, Granneman reveals the clockwork behind the introvert's mind. Whether you are a bona fide introvert or an extrovert anxious to learn how we tick, these revelations will answer the questions you've always had: --What's going on when introverts go quiet? --What do introvert lovers need to flourish in a relationship? --How can introverts find their own brand of fulfillment in the workplace? --How can introverts mine their rich inner worlds of creativity and insight? With other myths debunked and truths revealed, The Secret Lives of Introverts is an empowering manifesto that guides you toward owning your introversion by working with your nature, rather than against it, in a world where you deserve to be heard."--,Provided by publisher.
