Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
My favorite book in 2013 (http://codingfearlessly.com/year-2013 http://codingfearlessly.com/year-2013). After reading it, I accepted my introversion and learned how to better use it, view it as a strength instead of weakness.
- rak00n 10y agoCurious, how did you start using your introversion better? This book gave me insight on who I am and why am I like this. It didn't change any of my behaviors.
- mmozuras 10y agoThat insight gave me more confidence. Before 'Quiet', I wouldn't allow myself to act a certain way or would feel bad if I did. One simple example: as an introvert, I would get tired at parties or gatherings of bigger groups. Before 'Quiet', I would try leave unnoticed (slightly embarrassed from leaving so early). Or I would stay and feel increasingly worse. Now I'm better aware of what's going on inside me. I feel more confident and leave. Or I find a quiet corner, read a book on my iPhone for 20 minutes, and get back to the group.
