The unsuspected values of the introvert or How to reveal the silent power hidden within.
When we think of qualities that are valued in our society, introversion is rarely the first that springs to mind. Yet introverts have unsuspected treasures to offer, a wealth that Susan Cain, best-selling author of “The Power of Discretion”, has brought to light.
Another author and psychologist, Marti Olsen Laney, explores in her books the advantages of introversion and how introverts can thrive in a world that values extroversion. We also recommend her book Introvert and Happy, which is a real survival guide for introverts.
What are the advantages of introversion?
# Deep listening: Introverts have an exceptional ability to listen and to recharge their batteries. Their natural calm enables them to grasp nuances and understand others in a profound way.
# Creativity: Their thoughtful minds and need for introspection often lead to innovative ideas and boundless creativity.
# Perseverance: Introverts are often determined and perseverant in their goals because they think long and hard before making decisions.
Introversion is much more than just a personality trait; it is an invaluable source of talent and skills. Susan Cain and Marti Olsen Laney have brilliantly shown how introverts can shine in a professional world that values extroversion above all else.
