Positively Introverted: Finding Your Way in a World Full of People by Maureen Marzi Wilson

5.0

This is a lighthearted book full of fun doodles that illustrate how it feels to be an introvert in an extroverted world. The ideas are relatable and the story is fun to follow. The ways she expresses how introverts behave and navigate in this world are creative and whimsical, and I gleaned several nuggets of wisdom from the topics she covers.

In particular, reading about the tough experiences Marzi had as a child and being misunderstood really resonated with me because I am currently trying to help my sensitive and anxiety-prone son navigate social situations in kindergarten. I am desperately trying to find a balance between pushing him outside of his comfort zone and allowing him space to go at his own pace. Above all, I want to be a caring adult in his life and a safe place to take refuge.

This was such a fun, quick read, and I'm glad it exists for introverts to feel understood and be encouraged.
