This book was written with an aim to become a guide for introverts to embrace oneself in todayâs modern society where extroversion has dominated and indoctrinated; and to explore the path that finally leads to happiness. The author, who is often mistaken for an extrovert although being extremely introverted inside, made the most of his personal experience and intends to present a path to become a Skilled Introvert who is aptly trained in society.
Once you embrace your own introversion, you can go on your own way without being wavered by external factors. In addition, traits such as âExpressing how you really think inside without any difficultyâ, âBeing good at self-promotionâ, âBeing good at saying Noâ etc., that are often perceived to belong to extroverts or as innate weakness of introverts are in fact, skills that can be acquired. Therefore, I wish to convey a message that introverts do not need to force themselves to become extroverted, and instead, embracing oneâs own introversion is critical. There is nothing wrong to be an introvert, and it takes different shape of efforts between an introvert and extrovert to lead to happiness.
This book addresses various approaches to building the five components mentioned above. Furthermore, it introduces interpersonal skills that can be practically applied to human/social relations right away. The nine interpersonal skills it addresses including âThe skill of conveying your thoughtsâ, âThe skill of saying Noâ, âThe skill of small talkâ, âThe skill of coping with rudenessâ, âThe skill of comfortingâ, âThe skill of self-promotionâ, âThe skill of being a good presenterâ, âHow to maintain attractive posture and attitudeâ, âHow to recover from daily frustrationsâ will help you become more mature in socializing.
