\"Introvert<\/a>If you are one of the nearly five million people to view Susan Cain’s TED talk on The Power of Introverts<\/a>, your view of yourself and the world around you may have been radically altered.<\/p>\n

I like to refer to B.Q and A.Q. That is, before and after reading her bestselling book: Quiet. Reading that book was a revelation. Things that I thought were deficits turn out to be part of my introvert nature. It was a huge permission slip to not have to apologize for being the way I am.<\/p>\n

This revelation continued as I did the research for my forthcoming book, The Everything Guide to the Introvert Edge, which is available for pre-order<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As the title, suggests, I touch on everything that is relevant for introverts in a light, playful, and practical way.<\/p>\n

I am happy to be part of the burgeoning introvert revolution. Stay tuned for more!<\/p>\n
