I am rather surprised and disappointed with Waldinger’s conflation of introversion and ‘being shy’ here. It does not inspire me to seek out his book.
That part didn’t sit well with me either. As an introvert, I am well aware that shyness and introversion are not the same thing. Still, I thought he had some interesting ideas. I myself am prone to doomerism and despair, if left to my own devices. If strategies for combating despair exist, I think they’re worth exploring.
