Insights
Useful insights from Martin Olsen Laney in ‘The introvert advantage - how to thrive in an exrovert world’.
Thanks to the person who lend me this book convinced that I should read it.
What’s more interesting is that though I may not talk much, people won’t use the word ‘quiet’ to describe me;) ‘Selective’ or ‘picky’ seems more like it:)
