Brené with Justina Blakeney on Creating Space to Reflect Our Stories

In 'Quiet', Susan Cain presents a comprehensive argument that modern Western culture misunderstands and undervalues the traits and capabilities of introverted people. She charts the rise of the 'Extrovert Ideal' and explores how it permeates various aspects of society, including workplaces, schools, and social interactions. Cain draws on research from biology, psychology, neuroscience, and evolution to demonstrate that introversion is common, normal, and valuable. The book offers advice for introverts on functioning in an extrovert-dominated culture and advocates for changes to support and recognize the contributions of introverts. It also distinguishes between introversion, shyness, and anti-social behavior, and highlights the unique strengths of introverts, such as deep thinking, persistence, and excellent negotiation skills.

In 'Jungalow: Decorate Wild,' Justina Blakeney shares her distinctive point of view on everything design fans want to know. The book covers how to make bold choices with color and pattern, take cues from nature, glean inspiration from heritage and travels, and break design rules. It includes personal narratives, practical advice, and nuanced insights into how Blakeney lives in her own space, reconnects with nature, stays inspired, and gives herself permission to feel free and wild. The book is filled with irresistible style, original patterns, and artwork, lushly photographed by Dabito[1][3][4].
