12 Powerful Self Care Books for Introverts

published on 11/29/21 by Angela Hamilton

Have you read any of the books on our list of self care reads for sensitives? Many highly sensitive people and empaths are also introverts, who prefer one-on-one conversations to group communication as well as time alone to reflect and recharge. It makes sense that there are many books written by and for introverts, since a characteristic of introversion is self-reflection and exploration. We spend a lot of time in our own heads, and reading about our personalities can help us make sense of their many dimensions. I haven’t read every one of these books for introverts, so do let us know what you thought of the ones you’ve read!

12 Self Care Books for Introverts via wallflower

The Introvert Advantage by Marti Olsen Laney, written in 2002, is still relevant in that it reveals the strengths of introverts, dispels myths, and provides tips for thriving when it comes to career, communication, and relationships.

The Secret Lives of Introverts by Jenn Granneman celebrates the complexities of the introvert, empowering us to live authentically while offering insight into introversion for those who don’t quite understand.

The INFJ Revolution by Lauren Sapala may only be relevant to the few of us with this rare personality type on the Meyers-Briggs scale, but it reveals what it’s like to be introverted, sensitive, and empathetic.

How To Be An Introvert In an Extrovert World by Michele Connolly is a guidebook for those who want to find more self acceptance, pleasure, and humor as an introvert living in such an over-stimulating world.

Quiet Is A Superpower: The Secret Strengths of Introverts in the Workplace by Jill Chang is a book for introverts highlighting what it’s like to be an introvert at work, and what it’s like to have introverts as colleagues.

The Road Back To You: An Enneagram Journey to Self Discovery by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile focuses on using the Enneagram as a tool for self exploration. It’s not just for introverts, but since we are a reflective bunch, I know it provides us especially powerful insights.

The Introvert’s Way: Living A Quiet Life in a Noisy World by Sophia Dembling tells us it’s okay embrace our desires to live quietly, celebrate alone time, take time to recharge, and make meaningful relationships.

The Powerful Purpose of Introverts by Holley Gerth empowers anyone who has tried to hide or deny their introvert qualities to embrace them instead. The qualities you may be used to seeing as struggles or drawbacks are powerful assets waiting to be harnessed.

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain put introverts on the map as a positive personality type, explaining why it’s important to have people who are independent, reflective, and good listeners!

Enneagram Empowerment: Discover Your Personality Type and Unlock Your Potential by our friend Laura Miltenberger is another Enneagram-centered book designed to get you exploring the many complexities of your personality type.

Me Time: The Self-Care Guide That Transform You From Surviving To Thriving by Jessica Sanders seemed like a fit for this list of books for introverts because “me time” is so important to us. It helps us rest and recharge and show up better for those around us. This book has tangible self care activities for everyone, no matter how little time you have.

With all the chatter that goes on in an introvert’s mind, a guide to releasing toxic thoughts and negative self talk like Detox Your Thoughts by Andrea Bonior will come in handy.
