Hey Reader,

Ask anyone what an introvert should read and you get one answer: Quiet, by Susan Cain.

It's a great book.

It's also where almost everyone stops, which leaves you stranded if you've already read it and you're sitting there thinking, right...now what?

I get asked this a LOT.
​
Especially in comments on social media: what books do I recommend?
​
Then, in December last year, I started working with an async coaching client, Vanessa. And one of the first things she asked me was what books AND podcasts I would recommend for introverts.
​
She wanted to truly understand what it means to be an introvert and consume as much on introversion as possible.
​
For Vanessa, I pulled together a list as part of a PDF I was making for her.
​
But then I thought about how there are so many introverts stuck on how to find out about more on introversion.
​
So I added a Toolkit page to my website.
​
It's where I have collated the main research on introversion, along with books, podcasts, TED talks and introvert-friendly business platforms - plus, of course, my own products for introverts.
​
Here are two recommendations to get you started:

You can find the full toolkit here.

And one more thing, since you're already here:

These resources will help you better understand yourself.

But the part most introverts get stuck on is explaining yourself - to the manager who reads your silence as disengagement, the partner who takes your quiet personally, the family who've called you "The Quiet One" since you were able to talk.
​
That's the gap the Introvert OS™ User Manual was built to close: the neuroscience of how you're wired, the patterns that get misread as character flaws, and the exact language for the conversations that cost you the most.
​
It's less than the price of a takeaway and you can read it tonight! You'll find it in the toolkit.

In your corner always,

Sam 💛
