The Powerful Purpose of Introverts: Why the World Needs YOU to BE YOU by Holley Gerth

Introverts make up half the population, yet most people still don’t truly understand what it means to be one. In this eye-opening book, Holley Gerth shares everything you need to know, from brain science to the psychological, relational, and spiritual aspects of being an introvert. She also reveals exactly what will help you beat your struggles and maximize your strengths so you can live with clarity, courage, and confidence in a world that needs what only you can give.

If you’ve ever questioned who you are as an introvert, or if you love, lead, or share life with an introvert, you need this empowering, insightful book. – from publisher’s website


This book was an excellent overview of what it means to be an introvert and talks about the strengths of being one. Gerth includes the science about how introverts are different than extroverts. I like that Gerth doesn’t just talk about the strengths but also brings up some negatives that introverts can get into without putting shame on them like culture sometimes does. There are also some exercises and quizzes included in most chapters to help readers understand more about themselves. I kept a highlighter and pencil nearby while reading this book.
