How To Know Whether You're an Introvert or an Extrovert—and Why That Matters | Susan Cain

Why knowing your tendency can improve your life.

Susan Cain is the author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, and Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole.

In this episode we talk about:

  • How to know if you're an introvert or extrovert
  • The strengths of introversion – and how these can you no matter where you are on the introvert / extrovert spectrum
  • Techniques to improve your relationships and work life
  • How to design your life around where you do your best – including figuring out your true goals
  • The perks of exposing ourselves to the things we fear the most
  • The paradox of anxiety and shyness
  • And why introverts and extraverts often get along so well—something Susan calls "introvert/extrovert synergy"
