For anyone who loved Susan Cain’s Quiet, comes this practical manifesto sharing the joys of introversion…

This clever and pithy book challenges introverts to take ownership of their personalities...with quiet strength. Sophia Dembling asserts that the introvert’s lifestyle is not “wrong” or lacking, as society or extroverts would have us believe. Through a combination of personal insights and psychology, The Introvert’s Way helps and encourages introverts to embrace their nature, to respect traits they may have been ashamed of and reframe them as assets.

You’re not shy; rather, you appreciate the joys of quiet. You’re not antisocial; instead, you enjoy recharging through time alone. You’re not unfriendly, but you do find more meaning in one-on-one connections than large gatherings.

By honoring what makes them unique, this astute and inspiring book challenges introverts to “own” their introversion, igniting a quiet revolution that will change how they see themselves and how they engage with the world.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“In this thought-provoking treatise on the quieter types, Dembling, the blogger behind Psychology Today’s “The Introvert’s Corner,” proposes a wholesale rethinking of what it means to be an introvert…. Dembling’s account is refreshingly candid and straightforward—“I am an introvert,” she writes, “And there’s not a damn thing wrong with me.”
-Publishers Weekly

“Unlike Quiet, it not only provides scientific and cultural background but also practical tips and a thorough-note of complete understanding of the introvert’s nature. An introvert myself, I have never read a book that I have so truly felt myself in.”
-Psych Central

“Dembling urges introverts to embrace their need for solitude, reflection, and regeneration with no apologies. It's what makes us who we are.”
-Cleveland Plain Dealer

About the Author

I recommend this only to extroverts who want to understand introverts

May 22, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

As I was reading this I felt like introverts don't really need to read this book. It's like an introvert telling introverts what it's like to be an introvert. I think the only new advice I got that I forget about sometimes is that introverts can sometimes delve into topics too intensely for extroverts to handle and that can drive them away. If you really don't understand what it's like to be an introvert this could be a valuable read but if you are beyond your high school years this is more like 25 chapters of DUH.

A permanent addition to my self-awareness library.

July 15, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

If you sometimes feel overwhelmed by the extroverts in your life, or just feel like you "don't measure up" this is the book for you. I feel comforted by the fact that "introversion is not an illness" and "it's time to stop apologizing for who we are." The book is full of ways to cope with the onslaught of noise in our lives. And, even some of the chapter titles are laugh out loud funny: "don't call us, we'll call...well, no, maybe we won't; It'll be fun they say, but we beg to differ; we din't know you were an introvert, we thought you were just a bitch." I learned a lot about myself from this book, and reread parts of it every so often when those extroverts really get me down. It's even helped me say no to invitations I really don't want to participate in. A very helpful read.

The Simply Luxurious Life

Helpful & Insightful

December 4, 2012

Format: Paperback

As a professed introvert, understanding the beauty of being someone who prefers quiet over chaos more often than not has become an interest of mine. And upon writing the post shared this past February about embracing one's introversion, I was pleasantly surprised to discover many fellow introverts.

Upon discovering Sophia Dembling's new book The Introvert's Way, I had the fortunate opportunity to review a copy before it became available (released today - Dec. 4th). While similar to Susan Cain's Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking, Dembling book is quite validating (". . . introverts can perhaps lay claim to high levels of creativity"), but at the same time Dembling, herself an introvert, offers accessible advice on how to interact successfully and create quality relationships with others that may be far more extroverted than we understand.

With chapters titled: What Quiet Says, Introverts are Not Failed Extroverts, Loneliness is a State of Mind and Mistakes Introverts Make, it is authentic based on her own experiences, helpful with its relatable situations that you may have thought you were the only one experiencing and wise on how to deal with those who may not understand. After all, it's okay if you enjoy your own company more often than not (in fact, it's a very good thing), and once you understand that this idea that extroversion is better and the American way is all a myth, you too will hopefully breathe a sigh of relief and go about accepting yourself for exactly who you are, being comfortable living in a way that works for you. Needless to say, I highly recommend this book.

This book is so right on target, I want to give 6 stars. After years and years (i.e., a lifetime) of feeling different and knowing that I am different from so many people I come in contact with, at last I can understand and celebrate that difference. It's an easy book to read in a day or two, and I resonate with about 90% of it, maybe more. It's one thing to feel overwhelmed, on overload, depleted of energy by a crowd of people, etc. -- but it's another thing to understand fully how that happens and, just as important, to understand that it's not negative, it's not peculiar, it's not anti-social, it's not abnormal and it doesn't need "fixing," as so much of society has taught us or told us. As a person who buys a lot of books, reads them and ends up donating maybe 80% of them, I can honestly say, this is one book I will keep and read again, and look forward to reading again.

Perfect Accompaniment or Follow-Up to Susan Cain's 'Quiet'

November 12, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I read Susan Cain's book, Quiet, just over 18 months ago, and it changed my world. Sophia Dembling's book, The Introvert's Way is a light-hearted, humorously approached, also sometimes sharp-tongued reveal of some of the situations and mindsets introverts experience, with more than a hint of irreverence toward, though fair treatment of, extroverts. I enjoyed The Introvert's Way but found it a light read, perhaps mainly because Susan Cain's book had already, earlier, exploded the revelations of recognizing myself in print (finally!), and prepared me for The Introvert's Way. Sophia Dembling provides insights, wisdom, and challenge, with some touchback to experts and case studies, and provides a worthy read - the depth is there, but the tone makes the content accessible in a way different than Quiet. I've finished reading the book and forwarded to a colleague, also an introvert, for his perusal. It is definitely worth the read, and the sharing.

Intorverts, read this so you understand your nature, don't let extroverts put you down

April 1, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

OMG, I'm over 60 and for the first time in my life I don't feel like a weirdo for being an introvert. Ms. Dembling's experiences ring so true for me. I got the ebook with whisper sinc and listened. I liked it so well I ordered the paper back so I can read it again and do some highlighting., then show all my extrovert family that it's my nature to be the way I am, I'm not a 'party pooper', I just prefer to be quiet; a small group of friends is all I need.

Easy-to-read discussion on the benefits of being an introvert

May 26, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I was originally led to this book by an article from the Huffington Post on 23 ways to identify if you're an introvert, and out of curiosity (in being a serious bookworm and introvert) I picked it up. As a life-long introvert and a master's level student in psychology and becoming a therapist, I really recommend this as one of the few quality easy-to-read novels on personality to read. The author does a great job meshing in research findings into an easy-to-understand story, as well as working in cultural and social factors, and (I think) successfully advocates for the quiet ones in a crowd without stepping on the toes of extroverts. As I was reading this I shared many pieces with a friend of mine who is extroverted to the max, and she gained a much better (and much-appreciated) understanding of why I am as happy as a clam to shut myself in my apartment for a weekend to recharge when she's negotiating her party schedule for the weekend.
