The Happy Introvert - Elizabeth Wagele

I haven't bought it yet, but I've perused it in the bookstore and skimmed Elizabeth's comments about it on her website, and it's a treat.

Elizabeth is the perfect Five and INFP (to boot) (sometimes we rarely flock together, you see...more T's predominate), and Introvert.

And, for the wicked side of me, from what I did read of her book, it's the perfect little number to just take and whack an Extrovert upside the head with.
Delicious. :)

But she's so sweet. It's not at all like she cracks heads in the book; it's just that she lays it down, plain and simple--that introversion is just as normal, just as perfectly natural a preference, and just as well-adjusted as Extroversion--without apologies, yet without a chip on her shoulder--she just lays it all out like milk & cookies for her probably hopefully 1/2 "E" audience to absorb and learn from.

{So, leave it to me to want to take her Grace, and wield her manuscript like a flog: *Whack! Whack!* upon the lowly, unsuspecting, boorish heads of all the fiend Extroverts who've ever made my life a pain in the ass on occasion.}

But unlike many other books focusing on Introversion as a valid personality trait, previously, this one is written by a very thorough, intellectual Five who can and does back up all of her statements with their "proof" in the weight of historical psychological studies & evidence. You read, you listen, and there's just nothing to contend with.


Anyway, this is just a heads up: I highly recommend the book [which I believe you can purchase through a link at this page on her website. If you can, get it through there; she may get some kind of credit with Amazon, if you do]. I DO intend to purchase it (it's only a matter of time)--and this post is just a "props"/heads-up to Elizabeth Wagele.

For any Type Fives, INFPs, or just sensitive Introverts I also heartily recommend a read-through at her website. I learned a tremendous lot about Fivedom, & intelligence & artistic appreciation just through what she's got there, alone. She's a great one to read if you're not sure you're a Five because you're on the side of "too sensitive."
