Abstract

This chapter answers the essential question: “What does it mean to be an introvert, an extrovert, or an ambivert?” The authors provide a definition that focuses on two key elements of our biogenetic nature: sensitivity to stimulation and sensitivity to rewards. This common language provides a framework for the rest of the book and debunks popular Western notions of introverts that tend to have negative associations, including “shy,” “antisocial,” and “slow.” The authors explore the ways in which human beings are also able to adapt, exercising free will to set stretch goals. Strategies for preserving authenticity in the process are offered. The chapter concludes with an investigation of the ways in which introverts and extroverts alike can avoid burnout.
