What would happen if a shy introvert lived like a gregarious extrovert for one year? If she knowingly and willingly put herself in perilous social situations that she’d normally avoid at all costs? Writer Jessica Pan intends to find out. With the help of various extrovert mentors, Jessica sets up a series of personal challenges (talk to strangers, perform stand-up comedy, host a dinner party, travel alone, make friends on the road, and much, much worse) to explore whether living like an extrovert can teach her lessons that might improve the quality of her life. Chronicling the author’s hilarious and painful year of misadventures, this book explores what happens when one introvert fights her natural tendencies, takes the plunge, and tries (and sometimes fails) to be a little bit braver.

I was really interested for the first 20 minutes and that was the end of interesting. After that it was a series of shy, introvert trying new ways to be less shy introvert by doing things she wasn’t comfortable with. Sadly these things are a series of monotonous and boring tasks that were to the narrator, big deals but to me were absolutely yawn.

This author put herself on the line. I’m also impressed with her husband, who obviously had to put up with the absence of his wife for the year that it took to complete the journey.

Author’s courage.

Great, Relatable read

Really great funny book! I could relate so much to the author about the need for friendship and a social life, even as an introvert. It provided valuable insights into my own friendships and highlighted how introverts can feel lonely, even when we prefer our own company. Plus, it encourages me to step out, meet new people, and embrace new experiences!

Loved the humor and emotional warmth of this book. The author’s narration was wonderful and took me along on her many adventures through a year of stepping outside of her introvert-focused comfort zone. From talking to strangers to stand up comedy, she pushes herself to try new things and make new friends.
Loved it!

Funny, charming book

Feeling unfulfilled, an introvert's journey practicing the seemingly preternatural social skills of extroverts in order to challenge herself to live like an extrovert for a year in order to grow her social circle. Enjoyable listen, articulated an introvert's feelings pretty well. I related very much.
