Hiding in the Bathroom: An Introvert's Roadmap to Getting Out There (When You'd Rather Stay Home)

“Introverts will love this practical and moving guide to building a career, network, and life you love.” —Susan Cain, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Quiet

Most ambitious people think reaching the peaks of success means being “on” 24/7—tirelessly networking, deal-making, and keynoting conferences. This is nonsense, says podcast host 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 fed up with feeling like they must always “lean in”—who prefer those moments of hiding in the bathroom to 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 her insights, tricks, and knowledge. With advice; exercises to evaluate your work/life fit and manage anxiety; and stories of countless successful introverts, Hiding in the Bathroom empowers professionals of all ages and levels to take control and build their own versions of success. It’s a must-have practical handbook for building a prosperous career and a balanced, happy life—on your own terms.

“[A] riveting look at redefining personal approaches to work . . . her willingness to share illustrative personal experiences, both good and bad, adds vivid color to the strategies she shares.” —Publishers Weekly
