Very useful and not only for Introverts!
What did you like most about Introvert?
It focuses on Introvercy but not in a bad way - it shows that introvertic people can be as succesful and as effective as Extraverts despite they preferences to be on their own.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The part about how to be succesfull at the job interview was really useful - it's not very common to find useful information about job hunting for Introverts.
Which character – as performed by Joshua Mackey – was your favourite?
Social Media Manager mentioned as a perfect job for introvertic people - I completly agree, I'm a social manager myself! ; )
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Not really - it's an informational book with a bunch of useful tips but I have a hard time seeing it making someone laugh or cry.
Any additional comments?
It's a very short yet useful book about how to approach daily life as an Introvert. It covers a bunch of the most important cases like how to strike a small talk, how to ask questions, how to build and have a succesfull relationship. It encourages Introverts to share their creative ideas even if it's difficult and many, many more. Check it out if you are an Introvert or just want a book about how to deal with people!

Inspiration for introverts in an extrovert world
As a strongly introverted human I understand the feeling that there is something wrong with you because you don't want to live in a social whirl, feel drained in large group situations and want to take time alone to recharge. Introvert is an inspirational audiobook, designed to encourage the introvert to see and know their strength and then to use them to succeed both socially and in the work place. It's whole premise is that introversion isn't a negative that stops you doing things, but rather a personality trait that allows you to be really good at a skill set that many extroverts might struggle with. I found it very encouraging and affirming, and I particularly enjoyed the section about career choices.

Understanding Introverts
Any additional comments?
Being an extrovert myself, I had no idea how it feels like being an introvert. I am a person who loves socialising with other people especially with friends. Sometimes, I also prefer some peace and quiet but I never considered myself an introvert. I don’t think that’s the way it works. Although it makes me wonder, what certain aspects make you one?
Since this subject got me really curious and I really wanted to understand a little bit more about it, I decided to buy this book and educate myself. It is actually quite an interesting topic! I learned that quiet people have the loudest thoughts and I may have to agree with that.
I recommend this book to everyone. It is definitely a good read! It’s not only for introverts but for extroverts as well!

Interesting and Insightful
I have been told that I am 50/50 introvert/extrovert which I found extremely intriguing and so I bought this audio book to gain a little more understanding of my introverted side.
I really enjoyed this book's content it gave some real insight into the characteristics of an introverted person in a way that I could identify with especially about keeping emotions to myself. It has helped me to identify strengths of my character but also the weaknesses and areas I can improve. Really interesting audio book.

Introvert - your inner strenght!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend “Introvert: discover how to use inner strength to thrive and flourish in modern world” by Ace McCloud to my friends. Firstly, because many people think that introversion is negative. If you prepare speak one-to-one instead of group, like spend time in quiet way and find out that being towards people drains your energy you are introvert. Secondly, “Introvert…” helps you to use your skills to improve your success and faced to challenging situations. Making friends are very challenging because they are struggling to open up. You can work in your conversational skills and adapt to social circle, you can networking if you are too shy. It is a many groups online that you can join.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Introvert?
The most memorable moment is when McCloud gives descriptions of different types of introvert. It is very interesting point, because helps to reduce stigma that introverts are just shy and tend to avoid people. They are not only like that, they can be great carer, manager, chairmen, writer and even can took risk more often than others. The author admitted that he is introvert and looking for his career as something that he really enjoys. The best jobs for introvert are: work with animals, historian, court reporter, astronomer, social media manager, film editor, medical record technician.
What about Joshua Mackey’s performance did you like?
I enjoy Joshua Mackey's performance because he can create relaxing and nice atmosphere during reading. His voice helps you to take a rest after busy day and reduce stress.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The great news that introvert can really benefit from being alone, can discover their inner skills and concentrate more on life. For most people being alone is too boring and frustration. They are able to work alone and can be great writer or film director. Like J.K. Rowling or Steven Spielberg.
Any additional comments?
The general "Introvert.." introduces good exercises to finding a right job, that is right fit for you. To achieve success introvert must to practice how to be good listeners, develop relationships, learning how to talk with others. Great tip that can help with that is set small goals, small talk with strangers, practice kindness and gratitude. Don’t try to impress others, be yourself and discover special talents

Any additional comments?
they have all manner of names to describe Introverts. I am not one, but i was curious to find out what makes one. I bought this audio book thinking i would get my question answered but i got even more. the book even covered extroverts and the history too. I need not say more. if you need to escape the "shy" zone, then this is the book you should be looking for.

Introverts can be successful too!
I've always been fairly introverted and it means that I sometimes struggle in social situations and in the workplace. There are a lot of books out there which aim to turn introverts into extroverts but I wasn't looking to change myself, I was just looking to reach my full potential and achieve what I knew I could!
That's why this book was so great! It focused on strategies to improve, rather than change and I've really seen results. I'd really recommend this book to anyone who feel like they can get more out of life, as I know I definitely have!
