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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChronicling the author’s hilarious and painful year of misadventures, this humorous memoir explores what happens when one introvert fights her natural tendencies, takes the plunge, and tries (and sometimes fails) to be a little bit braver.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-vertical\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eA year-long real-life experiment in living more boldly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eHonest reflections on introversion, anxiety, and loneliness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003ePerfect for fans of \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eQuiet\u003c\/span\u003e by Susan Cain, \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eYes Man\u003c\/span\u003e by Danny Wallace, and \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Year of Yes\u003c\/span\u003e by Shonda Rhimes — witty, warm, and deeply relatable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eEncouragement for readers (introverted and otherwise) who want to challenge their own comfort zones\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eMore than a self-help book — Pan's “shintrovert” experiment is backed by real psychology, offering genuine insight into how fear and habit shape the lives we think we're stuck with\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eA funny, relatable, and highly readable perspective that respects introversion rather than trying to “fix” it\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eGrounded in behavioral science and driven by sharp, self-deprecating humor, this is a book for anyone who has ever felt lonely in a crowded city, struggled to make friends after thirty, or wondered what they might be missing by always choosing the sofa.","brand":"Frames Etc ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62856241840287,"sku":"176069586387","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.framesetc.net\/products\/sorry-im-late-i-didnt-want-to-come-jessica-pan-simon-and-schuster","provider":"Frames Etc ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
