This gives an excellent insight into the personality type of a huge proportion of the population, their thought patterns, motivations, ways of responding and behaving that extroverts just do not understand. Everyone these days is supposed to be extrovert now and so many people are having to pretend to be extroverts in order to be accepted and progress at work. This was not the case until recent times and it is exhausting for those who are introverts to have to conform to this. Being quiet is normal for all these introverts but they are told that is not desirable. When assessments of children and adults take place being 'quiet' is considered a negative quality and the strong focus and thought processes of introverts are overlooked. Instead professionals and others tell introverts to speak up and basically turn themselves into an extrovert types, which is not possible. Consequently, their strengths and attributes, their input and ideas are often wasted. This is an excellent book for everyone to read - it explains to extroverts as well as introverts themselves, why they hate open plan offices and group meetings and need space as well as the company of others. All those working with children and young people in schools and colleges, and employing adults in workplaces should read this. An extrovert parent with an introvert child should read this.Read full review
