|  | Being an Introvert in an Extrovert World by Marti Olsen Laney
One out of every four people feels overwhelmed at the thought of a business meeting, dreads walking into a party, hates having to make small talk with strangers, feels alone in a crowd--and always prefers to sit on the sidelines and observe. They're introverts, and now comes the book to buttress their resolve and help them find understanding and success living in an extrovert world. After dispelling common myths about introverts--they're not antisocial, they're not necessarily shy or aloof--BEING AN INTROVERT IN AN EXTROVERT WORLD explains the real issues. Introverts are hardwired from birth to focus inward, so outside stimulation can easily become too much --chitchat, phone calls, parties, office meetings can all be overwhelming, sending introverts fleeing for a quiet corner. BEING AN INTROVERT IN AN EXTROVERT WORLD will help dispels introverts' belief that something is wrong with them. It helps readers understands introversion and shows them how to determine where they fall on the introvert/extrovert continuum. It provides tools to improve relationships with partners, kids, colleagues, and friends, offering dozens of tips, including 15 ways to talk less and communicate more, 10 ways to thrive at work, ways to take a child's temperament temperature, and arrival strategies for parties. Finally, it shows how to not just survive, but to thrive--how to create a life that just right for the introvert temperament, to bend and stretch comfort zones in the world, to keep friends, discover new energy reserves, grow in spirit, and more.
