Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come: An Introvert's Year of Living Dangerously by Jessica Pan

4.0

Jessica Pan has a funny and relatable voice. As a fellow introvert, I felt for her a lot in this. I consider myself a bit more adept at socializing (thanks to 10 years of customer service jobs) but I could never do half of the things she forced herself to do for this book (especially the comedy bit and traveling alone). This book feels more like inspirational/self help than anecdotal, but perhaps that is only because it forced me to question my own relationship with extroversion.

I do wish there had been more consideration for teaching extroverts how to be more introverted because that gets brushed over so often in our society where extroversion/the ability to network is the only trait that is valued. Everyone could find value in learning how to be emotionally and mentally self-sufficient, and teaching oneself how to make use of quiet time and self-reflection.

Perhaps that could be a good follow-up...
