This introvert guide and manifesto will help you and the people in your life who are more outgoing better understand and embrace your personality type, and it will also help you.

This book will show you how to do this.

West With the Night by Beryl Markham

Born in Britain, Beryl Markham was a rebel from the start. She grew up in Kenya's harsh farmland and was never afraid to stand up for herself. In 1936, she took on a risky challenge: to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean, just like Amelia Earhart did a few years earlier. There are a lot of people who think West With the Night is one of the best adventure books ever written. Newsweek says it's one of the best. The New York Times says it makes you think humans can do anything.
