• Defining for yourself what really matters

Super!

Listened because my introverted wife wanted me to. Glad I did. Very good book! Well wrote. Well read.

Perfect timing

This book came at a time when I needed to feel understood most. Thank you <3

Connection and Understanding

I breathed a huge sigh of relief while reading this book knowing other mothers experienced extraordinary similar lives as introverts. I'm grateful that this books brings to light the naturalness of introverts and allows us to connect...that we are all created with beauty and purpose.

Encouraging and Uplifting

Loved this book. I upped the speed to 1.3 so it would be read at a pace that was better for me. I absolutely love audiobooks that are read by their authors.

This book was very uplifting and encouraging.

a delightful treat!

This was beautifully written and full of inspirational insights from some of my favorite authors like Laura Ingalls Wilder and Jane Austen. such a delightful treat to listen to each morning during my quiet time.

Needed and Appreciated

This book was soothing balm for my exhausted, introverted soul. I feel like I not only know myself more fully, but can love myself more authentically. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and insights.

Excellent read. Eye opening.

Lots of YES moments. Love reflection and response questions. Helpful. Entertaining real life examples. Excellant narrator.

I no longer feel alone

I cannot express how much this book touched my sensitive, introverted soul. As a mom to two school aged boys and an extroverted husband, I have struggled the past 10 years to figure out why I couldn't be more like other moms or wives. Learning about introversion and high sensitivity helped so much, but I still longed to figure out how to be the calm, steady mom my boys need while honoring my needs. And to help my husband understand me. This book was like the missing puzzle piece for me. I feel understood, inspired, and much less alone. Thank you Jamie, for providing this to all of us introverted moms out there. What a gift.

So, so needed.

A wonderful book for the never-resting, guilty-feeling introverted mom of today. Force yourself to stop, make a cup of tea or coffee, grab a cookie, and sit. And listen. And absorb.

Understand myself better

This was perfect for learning to understand myself as an introvert and a mom and why I react certain ways. It has been helpful to know that it is a part of who I am and I need to include certain things in my life and exclude others to have the peace I'm looking for in my heart and in my home.
