"We are dynamite" by Juliane Marie Schreiber shows with humor and resistance why extroverted appearance often counts more than substance in our society.
Although introverts in particular embody strong skills for an uncertain future: autonomy, creativity and resilience. But to achieve this, one must not be guided by the zeitgeist or the expectations of others. Her approach is an invitation to return inwards - and an explosive plea for a new culture of thinking: depth instead of speed. Our world rewards the loud instead of the thoughtful, the self-promoters instead of the inward thinkers. Juliane Marie Schreiber shows with humor and resistance why this is not a coincidence, but a system. Why extroverted appearance often counts more than substance - even though introverted people in particular embody strong skills for an uncertain future: autonomy, creativity and resilience. But you can't be guided by the zeitgeist or the expectations of others.
