I really enjoyed the book. It was very insightful and really hit home. I learned some of the things that o could do I situations that may make me uncomfortable and that needing my quiet time to recharge was okay. There was some repetiveness but overall an easy book to read and understand with good information

Drew Kimble Wrote This Bood for Me!

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2016

Drew Kimble wrote this book for me, or so it seems. It is as if he were talking directly to me, diving into my head, telling me about the “stuff” he found rattling around in there.

I read this book in two settings: it was difficult for me to put down. It was fascinating and uncomfortable, at times. He spoke truths to me, about me that I hadn’t noticed in my 67 year!

I never, never, bookmark in the novels I read. I placed four bookmarks in “Quiet Impact” and I fully intend to share them with my extroverted husband. I need to share Drew’s insights such as: Extroverts “don’t understand that although introverts may be tolerant of their behavior, that doesn’t necessarily mean that we can be pushed around. Everyone has their individual breaking point, but most of us will eventually push back once the pain of not standing up for ourselves becomes greater than the discomfort of confrontation.” This explains 37 years of how I’ve operated.

Another ah ha moment for me: “We only talk when we have something to say. As introverts, we don’t talk to work out our questions, problems, or emotions – we do all of the in our frantic little brain.” Of course, I’ve known this all along but sometimes the obvious is not so obvious. My extrovert husband is constantly asking what he’s done to “make me so quiet.” He never quite believes my, “Nothing!”

And the one that I’ve been telling my husband for years: “If you have a complaint, tell us in private. We are sensitive enough to criticism without having to absorb and respond to it in front of others. If you insist on criticizing us or making an example of us in public, rest assured we will quietly plot our revenge and changes are, you’ll never see it coming.” This one, I definitely will share.

Thank you, Drew, for an entertaining, insightful, uncomfortable, enlightening read. It’s nice to know it’s NOT just me!

"Hey, That's ME!"

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2016

I enjoyed this book immensely. As an introvert, I appreciated the authors directness, and how I believed the author was speaking directly to me.

At times, I wanted to speak up and say, "Hey, That's ME!", but I kept my hand down, and didn't make a peep, even though I work at home, alone!

Quiet Impact is written in a straight forward manner, with no extensive clinical studies or long winded essays to endure, and that was such a pleasant relief. Sometimes straight forward is just what's needed.

I have the type of personality that keeps me from even the most basic of social interactions without massive prodding from friends and family. I have managed to dis-invite myself to just about every social engagement with very few exceptions. I feel that somehow, no one has ever understood me. Even worse, most people I meet seem to jump to a lot of wrong conclusions.

This book isn't going to completely change who I am, or who you are, no book can. With a little work and this well written book as a guide, it may (I hope) give me a little bit of courage to try something new. It may even help me to better navigate awkward situations that we introverts often face. As a book, what it has done for me, is lay out in direct term, and connect in a way that I appreciate. It has made me feel as though perhaps there is something I can do for myself, in my own slow and measured steps.

As a prescriptive write, it fits well with my temperament, and I intend to re-read it often.

I certainly do recommend this book, and as one last nod to the author, I congratulate him on being able to write an entire book without one single mention of Steve Jobs anywhere in its pages! Well done. -YoPedro

I wish this book had started with Part 2!

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2016

(I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.)

I myself am an extrovert, but I was very excited to read this, as I am married to an introverted creative and have many within my social circles. I expected this book to provide me with insight that would help me to support the creative introverts in my life, and to be able to recommend it to them as a helpful tool.

I have followed Drew's work for a number of years and generally "know" him to be a pretty positive, funny guy overall. Many statements in this book felt unnecessarily harsh toward extroverts, with sweeping generalizations and sharp barbs that were rather off-putting, which caused me to drop my review rating to a 3. Had I not agreed beforehand to read this book in its entirety, I likely would have stopped in the first half; in my opinion, the book needed to start with the final chapter of part 1.

Had I put the book down in the first half, I would have missed the truly valuable portions of the book. Discussion of the challenges unique to introverts and the many ways to work with those qualities, rather than trying to suppress them, is just what I expected from this read. The shared tips for networking, parties, and other potentially awkward gatherings should be particularly helpful for introverts, and also for extroverts who want to better communicate with and understand the introverts around them.

With more focus on the good things/challenges of being introverted, and how to work with those limitations and needs as a creative, and less "us vs. them" comparison between introverts and extroverts, the second part of this book is certainly worth your time, whether you are an introvert or you're an extrovert hoping to better understand and support the introverts in your life.

A must read for introverts and their friens and family

Brilliant book. Being an introvert this book has empowered me. No longer do I feel weird or that there is anything wrong with me. I had lifetime of people telling me that I should change, why can't I be more like so and so and just do something with myself... And I did think about it but it felt just plain wrong. Well no more.
I had to laugh during some parts, as I could have wrote that. Never has a book felt like it was written from my inner self.
If you are an introvert, or you don't know that you are one but people reffer to you as the odd one or weird one, or if you are a parent/friend/ partner of one, you should read this book. It will make you understand why we do things the way we do them and you can just love us for who we are and stop changing us.

Thank you Drew for writing this book you have done a big service to the introverted community.
