Downside
To assemble this book, author Nancy Ancowitz, an introvert herself, evidently
interviewed a large number of prominent people. Indeed, the book starts out with
five pages of "People Who Have Shared Their Wisdom in This Book", listing some
66 names including some prominent individuals such as Warren Buffet and Bill
Clinton. Interestingly, the list does not include an interview with Bill Gates,
though Gates is mentioned in the text as an introvert.
Moreover, the advice proffered by the author throughout the book is frequently
supported by quotes from these eminent people. However, we could not help feeling
a certain degree of excessive "name dropping"[15]
and, from a Canadian perspective, we found this a little tedious.
15. "Name
dropping": The practice of casually mentioning important people in order to impress
the reader.
