The Secret Lives of Introverts: Inside Our Hidden World

Fellow INTROVERTS- here we come! It's our turn to set the world on fire, quietly yet distinctively. This book is designed specifically for introverts, but also provides some helpful tips to (open-minded) extroverts. As a twenty-something introvert here who was bullied 10 years, pressured to be an extrovert all my life by society & family & 'friends' over 20 years, and adopted the mentality to change who I am to simply be loved and accepted by others- no more! It's time I start owning my introverted life and truly taking care of myself from the inside-out, gradually and honestly. Thank you, Jenn, for not giving up on your introversion- for it inspires me to accept it too as a strength. Those of us part of the "Introvert, dear" online community website will appreciate and probably remember some advice found from the online articles but will better understand where Jenn is coming from as an introvert herself. Overall, it is definitely a worthwhile book to read to dive deeper into the lives and perspectives of multiple introverts who share their experiences from different viewpoints yet coming together to discuss similar situations with being introverted people. ~Although extroverts can read this book, I highly recommend introverts to only read it- mainly because the book is personalized for an introvert reading it and provides understanding wherever that introvert reading it is coming from.. & I highly recommend each introvert to share insight with extroverts that they know- they are likely to listen better by someone else rather than a book, if you know what I mean.

I just recently began reading this. I'm several chapters into it. I've learned some useful information. The author appears knowledgeable and interested in the subject. I'm happy with my purchase.

I’m an introvert and always wanted to learn more about myself but, always came across false information online or other sources. This book is perfectly written and factual information without being boring. The storytelling is amazing and in an evening I got half way through the book.

This is definitely one of the best books about introverts out there. Written by Jenn Granneman, the founder of Introvert, Dear (one of my favorite sites), this book goes into great detail about Introverts and is very simple and easy to understand. The beginning of the book talks about the science side of Introversion, but then gets into misconceptions about Introverts (antisocial, hating people, boring, etc.), how Introverts aren't unsociable, and then advice when it comes to relationships, friends, dating, and careers. My favorite chapter is 6, because not only was it the most helpful and intriguing chapter for me, it's titled "Please Just Leave Me Alone." Hahaha. I can relate to that so much. I'd say this book has much simpler writing than Quiet (another book I plan to review, but I have to re-read it), and as such, is easier to delve into and understand. If you are an introvert looking for a good book to read, then pick this one up!

This is a life-changing book and I wish it had been around when I was growing up. Jenn Granneman has done a wonderful job of explaining the challenges and solutions for navigating life as an introvert. She explains the difference between temperament and personality and how dopamine affects introverts and extroverts differently. The book touches on dating and relationships, work life and everything in between and includes many personal stories and data from surveys she conducted. Little details that I never connected to introversion but figured were just my quirkiness - like not smiling when you are in your own thoughts-- made me shake my head in recognition. Overall, I found that the book made me appreciate and understand myself more and know that I'm not alone. Definitely worth a read whether you are an introvert or want to understand one!
