Brief review: One third to one half of the world's population is probably introverted. Chances are, either you are an introvert or you live with someone who is an introvert. The book's key message is about 'the power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking'. This book will change the way the world looks at introverts. Not raising voice or not engaging in fights doesn't mean they are weak. They have mighty powers of concentration and relatively immune to the lures of wealth and fame. They are brilliant at solving complex problems. They form a big percentage of the world leaders and yet the society at large somehow has an opinion of this breed being 'soft and timid. It's time we change this view. Excellent book. Well researched. Every person who considers herself an introvert (and even the extroverts) must read this book. I would strongly recommend this to all.
