Product Description
Written by a self-confessed introvert, this fun-to-read handbook is a slightly wacky yet truly heartfelt look at the richness introverts experience in their inner worlds. Practical and guiding, it is a road map for how those experiences can be better understood, appreciated, and shared by introverts and extroverts alike.
The book dispels the wrongly held belief that introverts are victims of depression or some other unhappy state and reveals how introverts experience the usual range of human feelings, including joy and contentment. Helpful advice teaches introverts how to excel in areas where their personality is a benefit as well as how to find the inner strength to negotiate an extroverted world and stand up for themselves and each other.

 A Manifesto ( jeffwickham )
This accessible little book is a clearly written manifesto declaring introverts right to respect by the extroverted world. I've bought a dozen copies to give to friends, the pediatrician, and teachers to help them understand the qualities of the introverted personality and all the ways our society unintentionally undermines his/her confidence. It isn't an academic study filled with jargon, it's one woman's declaration of independence and it made me want to sing (in the privacy of my locked room of course....)

 Just ok
This book was alright, but I think the author could have elaborated much more. The book seemed too short. Cartoons were kinda fun. The author is not very eloquent. I believe that this book would be better suited to a middle school or high school level reader... a very good gift to an introvert in secondary school. Also, the book does alright at telling you a little about introverts and extroverts, but there wasn't much as far as what to do about it. The quizzes were annoying. I would instead highly recommend The Introvert Advantage.

 hated it ( shy3wolf )
Take a psychology class or something similar instead of buying this book. Waste of money. Very childish writing and very little new information.

Happily Looking Inside the Happy Introvert ( kfish@well.com )
Reading this book by a wonderfully creative introvert was an absolutely fascinating and useful experience. As an extrovert, who has many introverted friends, I found Liz's insights especially helpful in understanding relational "issues" when they arise. Her cartoons are delightfully amusing, and when studied closely playfully provide many additional insights into the soul of the type. I also enjoyed the eclectic smorgasbord of details and data that only an Enneagram Point Five can so skillfully incorporate into the feast. Her range of interests and knowledge is truly awesome. So read, learn, and enjoy!

Happily recommended
Sing quietly to yourself for joy. In The Happy Introvert, Elizabeth Wagele shows by example the fun an introvert can have. Sly, smart, and elegant cartoons, quotations, research, humor and more gently lead the reader to the realization that alone is not necessarily lonely but just a good place to play. Elizabeth Wagele makes me smile. Now I'm a happy introvert too! Highly recommended for pure delight.
