Dear Diary...
Dr Marti Olsen Laney: The Introvert Advantage
lundi 17 août 2009

I just had my shower :/ So late. hahaha.

That's because I was pretty engrossed in this book. The Introvert Advantage, by Dr Marti Olsen Laney. I had wanted to learn more about myself, so I got my mum to borrow it for me.

Now that I had read the first few parts of the book, I kinda feel that the book is more for extroverts, rather than introverts.

Well, sure, the book sure pin points many of the traits I have. It's also interesting how it advises me how to try some things in some ways to maximise my energy use (introverts have rather low physical energy levels but are very active in the mental context).

However, the main problem is that introverts are outnumbered by extroverts, THREE TO ONE. The theory?

Extroverts are the warriors and commanders who fight the war, and make things happen, naturally, you need more of them.

Introverts are like the advisers to these commanders and warriors.They create ideas and formulate methods for the warriors and commanders to help them make it happen.

Naturally, you need less introverts.

So I think the book should also be read by extroverts, only then they will learn to appreciate their introverted counterparts more. After all, introverts are people who crave recognition and need recognition to tell them that they are on the right track, good job, keep going. And this motivation would come from the people around them, and the probability that the people around them are extroverted? 75%.

I'll read more of the book. Really interesting.

I had actually wanted the other book. But this book is just fine. I think I'll read all 3.

Au Revoir
