Description

This book was written with an aim to become a guide for introverts to embrace oneself in today’s modern society where extroversion has dominated and indoctrinated; and to explore the path that finally leads to happiness. The author, who is often mistaken for an extrovert although being extremely introverted inside, made the most of his personal experience and intends to present a path to become a Skilled Introvert who is aptly trained in society. Once you embrace your own introversion, you can go on your own way without being wavered by external factors. In addition, traits such as ‘Expressing how you really think inside without any difficulty’, ‘Being good at self-promotion’, ‘Being good at saying No’ etc., that are often perceived to belong to extroverts or as innate weakness of introverts are in fact, skills that can be acquired. Therefore, I wish to convey a message that introverts do not need to force themselves to become extroverted, and instead, embracing one’s own introversion is critical. There is nothing wrong to be an introvert, and it takes different shape of efforts between an introvert and extrovert to lead to happiness. This book addresses various approaches to building the five components mentioned above. Furthermore, it introduces interpersonal skills that can be practically applied to human/social relations right away. The nine interpersonal skills it addresses including ‘The skill of conveying your thoughts’, ‘The skill of saying No’, ‘The skill of small talk’, ‘The skill of coping with rudeness’, ‘The skill of comforting’, ‘The skill of self-promotion’, ‘The skill of being a good presenter’, ’How to maintain attractive posture and attitude’, ‘How to recover from daily frustrations’ will help you become more mature in socializing.

Awards & Endorsements

Review
Every introvert needs this book! I love the idea of an “unshakable mindset,” and have started practicing that in my life. Extensively researched, practical, and, most of all, inspiring. —Laurie Helgoe, Ph.D., author of INTROVERT POWER: Why Your Inner Life Is Your Hidden Strength
Review
It sometimes seems as if only extroverts are valued in the world, and all the good things come to them. This means that introverts feel alienated and disadvantaged. However, there are many ways for introverted people to be productive, fulfilled, true to themselves and contribute to society. This book is an important guide for how to do this, and understand oneself better in the process. —Daniel Nettle, Ph.D., author of PESONALITY: What makes you the way you are
Review
Scott H. An shows an insightful and adept understanding of the introverted mind. The author speaks with incredible familiarity and conveys the sense that the book is written for us, by someone like us. If you want to learn more about different personalities and how to interact with the world, An's book is surely one to keep in mind. I learned a lot, even though I have been researching and writing about these topics for years! —Peter Hollins, author of SCIENCE OF INTROVERTS
Review
"Here is an interesting deep examination of introversion: What it is, how introverts can learn to embrace their nature, and how they can succeed in a world that historically has considered extroversion to be the "right" way." —Sophia Dembling, author of The Introvert's Way: Living a Quiet Life in a Noisy World
