Quiet

I can’t stop talking about this book. Carly recommended it to me a while ago and I put off reading it (non-fiction takes me so much longer to read!) but over the break I had some time to really sit down and read and I just. loved. this. book. It delves into the science of introversion/extroversion, and the ways that we idealize extroversion (and act as though introversion is something to be fixed when in fact it really isn’t). I felt a lot more confident and as though I understood myself better after reading it. I often find myself faking extrovert behavior and genuinely do love being social, but sometimes feel like such a weirdo in how I then need to recharge by being alone. This book explains a lot. I cannot recommend it enough. If you are an introvert, are married to/dating an introvert, or work closely with an introvert, it’s worth the read. One of the best books I’ve read in a while!
