According to this book, my family is an statistical rarity. Out of eight people, at least six of us are definitely introverted. So, there's a higher introverted rate in our home than in most of the world. This book does an interesting analysis of what being an introverted in this world (heavily extroverted-biased) means. Which is good, I think.

In a world in which introversion seems like a disadvantage in a lot of things, this book uses research to show that this perception is wildly off. It's no about whether introvers or extroverts are inherently "better" at whatever. The point is more like we have different ways to deal with things, and that's fine. I believe that knowing what your strengths are plays a huge role in your personal development. Everyone has weak spots, and learning about them is the easiest way to figure out how to overcome it.

Also, I had no idea that Rosa Parks was a introvert and it's such a cool fact. And it makes sense, as she is famous for pacifically opposing discrimination. She didn't do anything grandiose or said an inspiring speech in front of millions. I loved that the author used her as a tangible example of someone who was able to lead while being an introvert.
