El poder de los introvertidos en un mundo incapaz de callarse / by Cain, Susan,author.(CARDINAL)503907;
Un libro que rompe paradigmas y demuestra la manera dramática en la que nuestra cultura ha malentendido y subestimado a los introvertidos, y que además provee las herramientas con las cuales aprovechar sus fortalezas. Al menos un tercio de tus conocidos son introvertidos. Aquellos que prefieren escuchar a hablar; leer a salir de fiesta; aquellos que prefieren trabajar solos a formar parte de un equipo. Muchas veces descritos como "callados", es a los introvertidos (Rosa Parks, Chopin o Dr. Seuss, por ejemplo) a quienes debemos muchas contribuciones a nuestra sociedad, desde los girasoles de Van Gogh, hasta la invención de la computadora personal. Apasionadamente escrito, investigado y repleto de historias de gente real, El poder de los introvertidos cambiará para siempre la manera en la que vemos a los introvertidos, y mejor aún, como ellos se ven a sí mismos. Susan Cain analiza el alza del Ideal Extrovertido durante el siglo XX y explora la manera profunda en que ha llegado a permear nuestra cultura. A través de investigación en la biología y psicología del temperamento, este libro provee diferentes ejercicios que nos benefician a todos, incluyendo ejemplos de cómo socializar si odias hablar de trivialidades, como modular tu personalidad dependiendo de las circunstancias, y como empoderar a los pequeños introvertidos.At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts - Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak-- that we owe many of the great contributions to society. In Quiet, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She also introduces us to successful introverts--from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.Includes bibliographical references and index.

Violet Shrink / by Baldacchino, Christine,author.(CARDINAL)613631; Mok, Carmen,illustrator.(CARDINAL)632492;
"Violet Shrink doesn't like parties. Or bashes, or gatherings. Lots of people and lots of noise make Violet's tummy ache and her hands sweat. She would much rather spend time on her own, watching the birds in her backyard, reading comics or listening to music through her purple headphones. The problem is that the whole Shrink family loves parties with loud music and games and dancing. At cousin Char's birthday party, Violet hides under a table and imagines she is a shark gliding effortlessly through the water, looking for food. And at Auntie Marlene and Uncle Leli's anniversary bash, Violet sits alone at the top of the stairs, imagining she is a slithering snake way up in the branches. When Violet learns that the Shrink family reunion is fast approaching, she musters up the courage to have a talk with her dad. In this thoughtful story about understanding and acceptance, Violet's natural introversion and feelings of social anxiety are normalized when she and her father reach a solution together. Christine Baldacchino's warm text demonstrates the role imagination often plays for children dealing with anxiety, and the power of a child expressing their feelings to a parent who is there to listen. Carmen Mok's charming illustrations perfectly capture Violet's emotions and the vibrancy of her imagination. A valuable contribution to books addressing mental health."--AD910LAccelerated Reader AR
