This book may get you nodding along and shaking your head throughout...

The world needs both introverts and extroverts to survive. In this book, Susan Cain (an introvert herself), explains why both personality types are not only needed, but really important for survival and success.

This insightful book is focused around the workplace and explores all things positive about introverts, including how much we lose in undervaluing them. Susan Cain talks about the "Extrovert Ideal" that has risen through the twentieth century and how this has now become a cultural norm at work. Talking through research and various case studies, she also comes to detail how when introverts and extroverts team up together and use each others strengths, they can in fact be pretty unbeatable.

If you recognise yourself or someone you know as an introvert, this book is well worth a read to help understand and embrace how you can successfully add value in a world of extroverts. If you're an extrovert, this will open your mind to understand things more from the eyes of an introvert, how they are able to add great value and collaborate for success.

There is also a book called "Quiet Power" which Cain has written to help empower introverted children and teenagers. So if any of this resonates more when thinking about your children and family life, maybe check this out.
