Is this as good as people say it is?

Also, any good non-fiction recommendations?

that's a good question. if I sey yes, I become one of the persons whose statements you're questioning. It's an infinite loop, OP. It will go on forever. Have a good journey. OR MAYBE YOU SHOULD READ IT YOURSELF AND MAKE YOUR OWN OPINION?

Someone bought it for me ages ago and I still haven't read it, both because I'm a dick and because it has a slight aura of self-help/motivational bullshit. Though I lent it to a friend and he really liked it.

What a pointless post I just made!

im just trolling. this is a board for opinions, discussions on books. your post is fine! I'm the dickhead.

It's very very bad.
I think it started out as a tumblr post.

the dichotomy is archaic and she uses many weak analogies like 'albert einstein was quiet, see you're not dumb!'. neglecting all the other personality factors of people like albert einstein.

We need to face reality. If you're quiet it's likely because you're not as quick witted or intelligent as others. This is from an introspective dumbass.

Introverts are just people who get tired after long periods of socializing. This book is for people who are insecure and paranoid, thinking that every single person around them will suddenly become furious and/or vomit on the ground at hearing words such as "quiet", "shy", or "introverted".

Man the fuck up. The truth is, nobody gives a fucking shit about you.

Oh man, I have this a lot. I remember when I went to Barcelona for seven days with high school, friends were around me all the time. When I got home I slept for two days, no kidding.

Typical pseudo-intellectual extravert spouting his opinions like they mean something

You see this shit starts off wrong already. Introvert =/= being shy or being quiet. I'm introverted myself but very talkative among friends

Introverts do have friends. Being shy is part of social anxiety. Also I am very shy around girls so needless to say I'm a kissless virgin
