Devora Zack, an avowed introvert and a successful consultant who speaks to thousands of people every year, found that most networking advice books assume that to succeed you have to become an extrovert. Or at least learn how to fake it. Not at all. There is another way. This audiobook shatters stereotypes about people who dislike networking. They’re not shy or misanthropic. Rather, they tend to be reflective - they think before they talk. They focus intensely on a few things rather than broadly on a lot of things. And they need time alone to recharge.

Networking has garnered a reputation as a sort of necessary evil in the modern business world. Some do relish the opportunity to boldly work the room, but for many others, the experience is often awkward, or even terrifying.

The Introvert Advantage dispels common myths about introverts - they’re not necessarily shy, aloof, or antisocial - and explains how they are hardwired from birth to focus inward, so outside stimulation such as chitchat, phone calls, parties, or office meetings can easily become "too much". Most importantly, it thoroughly refutes many introverts’ belief that something is wrong with them. Instead, it helps them recognize their inner strengths - their analytical skills, ability to think outside the box, and strong powers of concentration.

Publisher's Summary
A new edition of Devora Zack’s classic bestseller (over 120,000 sold in 15 languages) on networking techniques that leverage the strengths of the mingling-averse, updated throughout, with two new chapters.
Would you rather get a root canal than face a group of strangers? Does the phrase “working a room” make you want to retreat to yours? Devora Zack, an avowed introvert and successful consultant who gives presentations to thousands of people at dozens of events annually, feels your pain. She found that other networking books assume that to succeed, you have to act like an extrovert. Not at all. There is another way.
Zack politely examines and then smashes to tiny fragments the “dusty old rules” of standard networking advice. She shows how the very traits that make many people hate networking can be harnessed to forge an approach more effective and user-friendly than traditional techniques. This edition adds new material on applying networking principles in personal situations, handling interview questions, following up - what do you do with all those business cards? - and more.
Networking enables you to accomplish the goals that are most important to you. But you can’t adopt a style that goes against who you are - and you don’t have to. As Zack writes, “You do not succeed by denying your natural temperament; you succeed by working with your strengths”.

Too 'Snowflakey'
This book is the second edition. I chose it over the first since it was newer and sounded like it had a more comfortable narrator, based on the sample. I was looking for a book on networking, and I know I'm sort of socially reclusive. so I figured this might make a good fit. I hate to be the person to leave a bad review on a book with hardly any reviews because I worry I might be missing something, but I honestly cannot say I enjoyed this book or felt like I gained something from it. I stopped after reading 40% through. From what I heard, almost everything was about how special introverts are, with a few somewhat useful tips sprinkled in. It gave me a 'feel-good BS' feel that was irritating me.
The book is directed to people who have tried lots of networking, but haven't had much success, although none of the concepts seemed particularly complicated. I was just looking for something to explain the basics of networking. While I don't hate the book, I can't see a situation in which I would recommend it.
