The Introvert Advantage - Softcover
The Introvert Advantage, written by Marti Olsen Laney, is the definitive guide to knowing and managing introverts. Life can be difficult and awkward when the world, dominated by extroverts throws an introvert into their midst. This book shows one how to celebrate the introverts and also how to engage them and utilize their unique skills, like independent thought and function, keen observations, and sensitivity. The author highlights the most common problem faced by many introverts, which is them being perceived as aloof and antisocial, or indifferent. For the introverts, Dr. Laney sheds insight into how to manage the extroverts that surround them and thrive amongst them. The author has done extensive research on introverts, being one herself, and uses her own experience as a therapist and neurological research to back up her theories regarding the 'innies' and the 'outies' and their interpersonal relationships, both in and out of the workplace. She also shows invaluable insight into the workplace relationships of 'innies', where their quiet reserve might be mistaken for slacking or indifference. Dr. Marti Olsen Laney, as a therapist and has a degree in psychoanalysis. She has also trained people and designed programs at many organizations. Prior to being a psychoanalyst, she was a librarian. Dr. Laney has also written other books on this topic like The Hidden Gifts of the Introverted Child: Helping Your Child Thrive in an Extroverted World and The Introvert & Extrovert in Love: Making It Work When Opposites Attract.
