Praise for INTROVERT POWER

I have finished your book, cover to cover. I was locked in from the get go. What a great reference for me every time I feel “outside" of the reality we all know. Thanks for writing this…Love this book. Do you hear me? LOVE this book! 
--Mark, West Virginia

I have never written to an author before…but no book has made such a deep impact on my perspective and given me such a core of inner strength… Writing doesn’t seem to be enough thanks.
--Margaret H., Alabama


This book is the best one I've ever read on Introverts! I was drawn to tears a couple times…
--Meikle, North Carolina

Before your book, was considering going back into therapy myself for my aversion to extrovert lifestyle.  My thoughts were centered around, “What is wrong with me…I should be better at this, I should want this.” Thank God (literally) that I no longer feel the need to go there…it will help my 15 year old son as well. He…prefers to be home or in nature.  I have tried to help him with self-acceptance but secretly wondered - again - what am I doing wrong that he does not want to - join the group? So, no more doubts and no more comparing ourselves to extroverts! I've got the power! Thanks again, more than I can express.
--Rochelle P., Mississippi

I feel justified, vindicated, explained, comprehended, normal.…This book has thus far explained every struggle I've ever had, and the truth is I'm not exaggerating.
--C.P. Homar, Puerto Rico

The author does a great job of disproving the falsehood that introverts are in the minority and that extroversion is the preferred state of being…This book is a great investment.
--John T., Ohio

I have only recently, within the past year or two, began realizing the effect I can have on people just by being the strong, silent type. I can certainly agree with the phrases on the back cover of your book: Quiet is Might; Solitude is Strength; Introversion is Power! Thanks for your wonderful book!
--Daniel Caudill

This book definitely spoke to my experience, and put into words things I had never seen written out before. About why I don't think well on my feet (because I need time to process things), why I prefer email to phone, and why I would rather share a meal with one person than 12.
--Jen Robinson, Jen Robinson’s Book Page.

"Thank you for writing this book.  As an introvert who never managed to "look like" an extrovert, I found it a real treat to see myself described in these pages. . . .including some of the strategies I've used for a long time to keep myself more comfortable.  I think that your explanation of introversion as a normal, natural tendency will help many people (introverts and extroverts) whonow view it as lacking something." -- Maureen R.

  • If you think introverts are in the minority,
    you are not alone, but you are wrong.
  • If you think introverts are “antisocial,” you are wrong.
  • If you think introverts are depressed and lonely, think again.
  • You may even be wrong about yourself!

In this groundbreaking call for an introvert renaissance, introvert and psychologist Laurie Helgoe reveals that MORE THAN HALF of Americans are introverts. MORE THAN HALF prefer to look at life from the inside out and gain energy and power through reflection and solitude.

Helgoe offers an alternative to our deep-seated extraversion training and shows introverts how to reclaim their sources of power.   Supplemented by the voices of several introverts, Helgoe presents a startling look at introvert numbers, influence, and economic might.

Revolutionary and invaluable, INTROVERT POWER includes ideas for how introverts can:

  • Claim private space
  • Carve out time to think
  • Bring a slower tempo into daily life
  • Create breaks in conversation and relationships
  • Deal effectively with parties, interruptions, and crowds

The only book that shows introverts
how to assert their silent majority.

Quiet is might. Solitude is strength. Introversion is power.
