Successful Introvert in Extroverted World Complete guide for introverts who want to make friends, be social, and build leadership abilities and developing powerful skills (ePub)

We often seem to be living in an extrovert world—it is the route to attention. We teach our children to speak up, not be shy and encourage them to be bold. Even our parents would tell us that "the squeaky wheel gets the oil!" The media tells us that the person willing to be the loudest will win the reality show, get the recording contract, get hits on YouTube... Growing up, we were encouraged to find our voice, choose a research area, and set the framework for a lifetime profession.

Many claims that Americans live in an "extroverted society" that rewards extroverted behavior and rejects introversion. This is because the United States is currently a culture of personality, whereas other cultures are cultures of character. Being an introvert in an extrovert's world is doable—maybe even pleasant. And maybe the world does not truly belong to one or the other, but the symbiosis between the two. The most important point to remember is that both types are equally important in their worth and contributions to society. Introverts should not be viewed as the "underdog" or disadvantaged because they are less outgoing or verbal. We have all heard of famous introverts such as Bill Gates, Steven Spielberg, J. K. Rowling, Albert Einstein, Jane Austen, Thomas Jefferson, and Mahatma Gandhi, individuals who, through their quiet ways, have made a tremendous impact on human culture.

In this book, you will learn all about introverted and extroverted personalities, the right way to communicate, and the solutions to success today.
