Comment by Jonathan Simeone on May 12, 2012 at 1:57am: David, Thanks for telling us about this book. It certainly is worth looking into.

Comment by David Loewen on May 12, 2012 at 1:20am: I haven't seen it mentioned here at all, but if anyone is interested, there is a FABULOUS book called The Introvert Advantage. Reading the book, I swear that I felt it had been written specifically for me! You should check it out if you have the chance. (No, I don't get paid for this. ;-) )
