<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><P>Unveiling the genius of introversion in an extrovert-dominated society <P>America is reportedly a nation of extroverts, but the latest research shows that more than half of Americans are in fact introverts. In a time when introversion is hot, Introvert Power is a valuable self-help book for introverts, treating introversion not as a hurdle to overcome but a personal attribute to embrace. It doesn't focus on extroverts and how to become like them, but how to take advantage of the fact that introversion is an opportunity. Introvert Power is a shelf staple; a go-to guide for introverts that's practical and proactive.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Learn to embrace the power inside you in a world geared towards extroverts in this introvert book written by psychologist and fellow introvert, Laurie Helgoe.</strong></p><p>Introverts gain energy and power through reflection and solitude. Our culture, however, tends to celebrate extroversion. 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.</p><p>Helgoe shows that the exact opposite is true: introverts can capitalize on this inner source of power. If you're looking for books on self-confidence and introversion, <em>Introvert Power</em> is a blueprint for how introverts can take full advantage of this hidden strength in daily life and move more confidently in the world.</p><p>Revolutionary and invaluable, <em> Introvert Power</em> includes ideas for how introverts can learn to: </p><ul> <li>Claim private space</li> <li>Bring a slower tempo into daily life</li> <li>Deal effectively with parties, interruptions, and crowds</li></ul><p><em>Quiet </em>is might.<em> Solitude</em> is strength. <em>Introversion</em> is power.</p><p>"Vivid and engaging."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em>, STARRED REVIEW</p><p>"A modern-day Thoreau."--Stephen Bertman, author of <em>The Eight Pillars of Greek Wisdom</em></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>""Most Americans, whether introverted or extroverted, have learned to look like extroverts," writes psychologist (and introvert) Heilgoe in this well-written and well-reasoned analysis that challenges the perception of introverts as a silent, problematic minority... Readers will find much insight, as well as a comforting sense of being understood and validated." - <strong><em> Publishers Weekly, STARRED review</em></strong><br><br>"Extroverts have to read this remarkable book too. It's not just that we'll better understand the other 50 percent of the population but that they have so much to teach us. The party always ends, after all. Being alone is unavoidable. Helgoe and the introverts among us know a secret: It's after all the music and dancing stops that we often become our most graceful selves." - <strong><em> Ethan Watters, author of Crazy Like Us: The Globalization of the American Psyche</em></strong><br><br>"I love Laurie Helgoe's book. I just wish I'd had it when I was growing up; it would have reduced the number of decades it took me to treasure my own introversion. Now as I read each page I'm saying "Yes!"" - <strong><em> Josephine Humphreys, novelist and winner of the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature</em></strong><br><br>"It changed my life. No kidding. Dr. Helgoe's book opened the door to discovery that has helped free me be myself." - <strong><em> Sophia Dembling, author of The Introvert's Way: Living a Quiet Life in a Noisy World </em></strong><br><br>"Laurie Helgoe's <i>Introvert Power</i> is The Bhagavad Gita for introverts....Laurie fans the embers of wisdom in each of us to honor yearnings that serve as both compass and anchor. I'm now giving myself permission to get a lock for my office door and replace my reading chair with something that would delight my younger self. I owe it to her." - <strong><em> Mary Hershey, author for children & young adults, co-creater of Shrinking Violets, Marketing for Introverts</em></strong><br><br>"Like a modern-day Thoreau, psychologist Laurie Helgoe leads us to a tranquil Walden Pond within our soul, and shows us the blessings of solitude we can find there." - <strong><em> Stephen Bertman, author of The Eight Pillars of Greek Wisdom</em></strong><br>
