Silent Strength

"Introversion led me away from distractions like girls and parties and drugs, and made me feel better when I was doing unusual things very out of the box. What others did I did not want to do because I'd be compared with and in confrontation with others...Silent Strength celebrates introversion as a path to authentic innovation and entrepreneurial success."
-Steve Wozniak, Co-founder of Apple and Inventors Hall of Fame inductee
