It's no wonder that introversion is making headlines--half of all Americans are introverts. But if that describes you, are you making the most of your inner strength? In this book, psychologist and introvert Laurie Helgoe, PhD, unveils the genius of introversion. Introverts gain energy and power through reflection and solitude. Our culture, however, is geared toward the extrovert. The pressure to get out there and get happier can lead people to think that an inward orientation is a problem instead of an opportunity. Helgoe shows that the exact opposite is true: introverts can capitalize on this inner source of power. Introvert Power is a blueprint for how introverts can take full advantage of this hidden strength in daily life.

Laurie herself is an introvert, and between her experience as a therapist and her personal battles with the trait, she is a master on subject. A must read, I would say, for anyone with self-doubt, as I think after reading this that much of it stems from introvert traits, wether or not you are a full introvert. The book is also very accessible to the extrovert. Very well written overall. The writing is academic, but also very personal. She doesn't shy from her experience with introversion, and in fact is refreshingly open about it. This is greatly helpful in making the material more accessible for the reader. Lastly, and perhaps more importantly, she spells out clear practical advice for dealing with key introvert issues. Definitely a must-read. I haven't checked out her website yet, but will soon.
