This book was one that 'changed my life' several years ago. The 'tool' it gave me, simply, was that introverts draw energy from their own internal world while extroverts focus on the external world to re-energize.
This awareness has made such a huge difference in how I view myself and others, how I treat myself and others. To both our benefits!
It would have been such a help over the first half of my life in understanding my own innate temperament and the behaviour and interaction of parents, other family, friends, colleagues, strangers.
I was married to an extrovert for twenty-four years and it would have made life easier if we had known about these "opposite ends of an energy continuum" and how to allow for the difference.
The information and knowledge continues and increases to provide something worthwhile.
I am very grateful to Marti Laney for writing this book!
