Introvert

Bogen er en hyldest til introverte, fuld af forfatterens bedste råd til, hvordan man som introvert lærer at stå ved sig selv og dermed få et bedre liv.Pressen skriver: »Anna Skyggebjerg er en af de forfatterinder, der har gjort størst indtryk på mig. Ikke fordi hun har skrevet store romaner, men fordi hun både som forfatterinde og blogger er i stand til at se det store i det små. Nu er hun ude med Introvert – Stå ved dig selv … en personlig kærlig og vedkommende bog om sig selv, som introvert.« - Julia Lahme, Femina »De fleste mennesker er nok både introverte og ekstroverte - indadvendt og udadvendt - hvis de selv skal sige det. Men tager man et par spadestik dybere, åbenbarer sig en anden sandhed. Her kommer hendes bog ind fra højre som lidt af en gave, for hvordan kan og skal man egentlig navigere, og hvad har vi selv lyst til.« - Holger Ruppert, Lokalavisen Frederiksberg

Understand the Introvert Within You and Position Yourself for Success I'm shy. I make excuses--even lie--to avoid certain social situations. I've been called anti-social, awkward, and odd. The way I behave doesn't feel unnatural, but I'm constantly being told it is. I'm afraid of confrontation and disagreement.

Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn... -The definition of "introvert" -Genetic differences between introverts and extraverts -Why and how introverts think differently -Is an introvert's unhappiness "real," or is it merely a reflection of living in an extraverted world? -Common characteristics of successful introverts -How to win in an extravert's world -How to embrace introversion and use it to your advantage Behind every "why" is a "because." Don't let ignorance prevent you from reaching your full potential. Start learning why you are who you are now, and make today Day 1 of the new you.

Do you think before you speak, or speak before you think? Does it make you uncomfortable when sales clerks approach you, or is that just another reason why you enjoy shopping? Do you do your most creative work alone or in groups? These days, "outgoing and flexible" seem to be the most in-demand characteristics in the labor market. Social skills have come to be valued more than professional expertise, and the squeaky wheel tends to get the grease. We live in an age when reserved, thoughtful, and quiet characteristics have come to be classified as mental disorders, and introversion is often mistaken for shyness, arrogance, or antisocial behavior. However, these stereotypes stray far from the truth. Whether a particular person is an introvert or an extravert is a biologically hardwired aspect of his or her personality. Scientists have known of and studied this fact for more than a century, and new discoveries are still made in this field every day. Linus Jonkman takes his readers on a fascinating journey through the world of an introvert. He relates his own experiences of being an introvert as well as those of other people, and explains the differences and similarities between extraverts and introverts. Much of the friction we experience in our professional and private lives is caused by conflicts between these two basic orientations. Recently, our understanding of introversion has improved vastly, but we're still waiting to see job listings specifically seeking people with introverted traits. In a world that keeps moving faster and faster, and where the noise get louder each passing day, introversion can actually be an advantage, and a blessing to those who possess it. "... liberating ... Through personal anecdotes and barbed humor, Jonkman reveals the psychology of introverts, and shows us how they are often misunderstood by extraverts." Svenska Dagbladet
