Our lives are driven by a fact that most of us can´t name and don´t understand. It defines who our friends and lovers are, which careers we choose, and whether we blush when we´re embarrassed.
That fact is whether we´re an introvert or an extrovert.
The introvert/extrovert divide is the most fundamental dimension of personality. And at least a third of us are on the introverted side. Some of the world´s most talented people are introverts. Without them we wouldn´t have the Apple computer, the theory of relativity and Van Gogh´s sunflowers.
Yet extroverts have taken over. Shyness, sensitivity and seriousness are often seen as being negative. Introverts feel reproached for being the way they are.
