The Incompatibles

What a treat to listen to this podcast, having read the book Introvert Power by Laurie Helgoe years ago, which was life changing. The interactions between Laurie and her husband Barron, who is an extrovert is fun, humorous, and very revealing as they interact on various subjects. Hearing the differences can be so very helpful to actually experience how the other, opposite personality thinks and feels can be eye opening. Perhaps especially with extroverts, if they take the time to think not only about their own feelings, but those of an introvert can make relationships work rather than create tension and resentments. Honestly, I wonder how many relationships could be made much better just by listening to these interactions in this podcast.
