"Quiet" by Susan Cain: How to be a successful introvert without going insane

I'm an introverted software engineer (former journalist) who does public speaking, youtube, social media, along with lots of volunteering and networking.

I need people. Helping and empowering them brings me most joy. It also drains me, and I find some of the above-mentioned activities somewhat terrifying and tiring.

I still do all of them, with various levels of success, but with some consistency.

Watch the video to hear how I do what I do. I also share what I've learned from "the Bible for introverts", "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" by Susan Cain.
