"The message of this book is for introverts not to copy extroverts, but to recognise their own needs and play to their introvert strengths. I had a light bulb moment over realising its a good idea to plan before networking opportunities. Clearly written, lots of good ideas and advice."
— Ali (5 out of 5 stars)
" For a really introverted person the ideas in the book make it seem less scary when trying to meet people. This can work at a networking event or out in life. I liked that she explained the strengths of an introvert can be used to make real connections that last. "
— Laura, 2/6/2014" More a book about introverts than anything. But if you're an I like me on the Myers Briggs, a must read. "
— Nathan, 1/27/2014" This is really a book for introverts, not more broadly for people who like meeting and talking to new people but find networking in particular awkward or uncomfortable. Had a few useful tips sprinkled throughout, but those could have been collected in an article rather than a book. "
— Aditi, 1/22/2014" This book explains so much about how introverts and extroverts react differently to the same situations. It helps you understand how other people might act and why. Not to mention that it is funny and a quick read. "
— Ayelet, 1/15/2014" Really excellent information! A good hands-on guide to knowing your strengths and finding your networking feet. "
— Christina, 1/13/2014" Great book on networking for whether your an introvert or extrovert. "
— Justin, 1/11/2014" Quick read-- good tips on introvert/centrovert/extrovert networking "
— Lynda, 1/10/2014" Good advice to introverts. I have always been told that my introverted tendencies were bad and I tried to suppress them. This book made me realize that there is nothing wrong with being an introvert. Also I now know how to take advantage of my introversion, not run from it. "
— Robyn, 12/26/2013" Amusing and quick read with great advice for introverts and centroverts "
— Jaqi, 11/29/2013" I liked Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking a lot more. I didn't really care for the author's very familiar style and I felt like the author said a lot of things that I already knew. "
— Emily, 11/16/2013" this book contains simple and easy suggestions for introverts to apply in their life, but this book is rather aiming at networking in our working life. "
— Kelly, 8/14/2013" Devora Zack has some really useful tips for networking and socializing and writes in a very fun and relatable way. I think she oversimplifies the introvert/extrovert thing slightly, but she also makes some very astute observations of people's varying personalities. "
— Natalie, 5/16/2013" Yes, I do hate networking, and this book helps to make it work for you without going against your introverted grain :) "
— Irina, 4/13/2013" A couple of takeaways but mostly fluff. "
— Laura, 3/7/2013" Good book for introverts and people who want to understand introverts. A lot of good stuff on what it means to be an introvert vs. extrovert, and how to make your strengths work for you instead of trying to act like someone you're not. "
