Claiming Your Introvert Power with Laurie Helgoe

February 4, 2013 by Beth Buelow 2 Comments

Image: http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2002697117/February 1, 2013, was a special day for introverts everywhere. It marked the release of the second edition of Laurie Helgoe’s fabulous book, Introvert Power: Why Your Inner Life is Your Hidden Strength. It’s chock full of stories, research and quotes from introverts the world over, all affirming the quieter gifts of the introvert. And this new edition reveals even more insights that are sure to have readers nodding their heads in agreement and feeling a connection to introverts everywhere.

In this podcast conversation, Laurie and I talk about what’s new in Introvert Power, including

  • What’s wrong with how we normally define “happiness”
  • How solitude can sometimes suck, even for introverts
  • How to get a word in edgewise with chatty Cathys
  • Why we introverts need to examine what we consider rude
