About this audiobook
“Introverts will love this practical and moving guide to building a career, network, and life you love.”
–SUSAN CAIN, author of Quiet
From the marketing guru and host of the popular Forbes.com podcast Hiding in the Bathroom, a breakthrough introverts' guide that broadens the conversation sparked by Quiet and moves away from the ""Lean In"" approach, offering wisdom and practical tips to help listeners build strong relationships and achieve their own definition of professional success.
Most ambitious people believe that reaching the peaks of success means being on 24/7—tirelessly networking, deal-making, and keynoting conferences. This is nonsense, says Morra Aarons-Mele. As an eminent entrepreneur with a flourishing business and a self-proclaimed introvert with lots of anxieties, Morra disagrees with the notion that there’s only one successful ""type"": the intense, super social, sleep-deprived mover and shaker, the person who musters endless amounts of ""grit."" Hiding in the Bathroom is her antidote for everyone who is fed up with feeling like they must always ""lean in""—who prefer those moments of hiding in the bathroom to constantly climbing the ladder or working the room.
Morra knows what it takes to make your mark, and now, this entrepreneur who has boosted the online strategy of clients such as the Malala Fund, President Obama, the UN Foundation, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation shares the insights, tricks, and knowledge she’s learned. Filled with advice, exercises to help listeners evaluate their own work/life fit and manage anxiety, valuable tools, and stories of countless successful people—entrepreneurs, academics, and novices just beginning their careers—Hiding in the Bathroom empowers professionals of all ages and levels to take control and build their own versions of success. Thoughtful and practical, it is a must-have handbook for building a fantastic, prosperous career and a balanced, happy life—on your own terms.
Includes an enhancement PDF.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This focused less on introversion than it did on how to be a successful business woman. A lot of the suggestions were impractical, like her emphasis on getting a flexible job where you can work at home. Most of her examples were of company executives and entrepreneurs.
