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… (mere)

Excellent book about introvert personalities - too bad it is not translated into English. Very revealing, thoughtful, and more people should read it! I agree that it at times is a little too repetitive and has a tendency to be 'lecturing', but I like it! ( )

I’ve known I’m introvert in the most basic of terms (social activities cost me energy, whereas solitude gives me energy) for a while, and have been wanting to learn more about it. However, most books on the subject seem to deal with an American reality, and as the whole Swedish national character seems to be introvert from that viewpoint, I have felt it might give me a wrong image. Therefor, I have been having an eye on Jonkman’s book since it came out, and picked it up as soon as it was available in paperback.

Most of the stuff in here is stuff I already kind of have figured out for myself, but it’s pretty interesting to see it put into words. And there are also some new thoughts in here, for instance giving me new insight to my burnout a couple of years back (which I never connected with extrovert tasks becoming more and more dominant in my workday with too little alone time to reload, at the time) and also some good ideas about parenting. Our six year old is obviously dominantly introvert, while our three year old is very extrovert, and we need to think about that.

Unfortunately, while the content is good, the execution is kind of weak. Jonkman is often funny, occasionally hilarious, and the book has lots of snappy oneliners like ”I google ’extrovert’ and find job ads, I google ’introvert’ and find articles about Anders Behring Breivik”. But the book is full of annoying repetition. Also, he generalises and draws conclusions on trends from examples in popular culture that just seem random. Even at only 240 pages, it feels at least 50 pages is fluff. And while he claims to want to show how extrovert and introvert traits complete each other, what comes across is often a ”pro-introvert” agenda of sorts, which feels more conceited than anything. Glad I read this, will surely come back to it for reference, but as a *book* it’s sub par. ( )
