Devora Zack, an avowed introvert and a successful consultant who speaks to thousands of people every year, found that most networking advice books assume that to succeed you have to become an extrovert. Or at least learn how to fake it. Not at all. T

Review by Leslie Williams for Networking for People Who Hate Networking: A Field Guide for Introverts, the Overwhelmed, and the Underconnected

When was the last time you read a business book that combined intellectual rigor, immense practicality and uproarious humor? If it’s been a while (like forever) since you’ve read a book like that, buy this one. Devora Zack completely redefines networking – both how we think about it and what it takes to succeed at it. She backs her ideas up with encyclopedic wisdom, ranging from neuroscience to philosphy to, well, the Lemonheads. Not only does this book offer a new and helpful perspective, but it will make you laugh. Devora is just plain funny – casual, self-deprecating direct and irreverent. This is a wonderful book – and the only business book I’d call a ‘page-turner.’

Devora Zack’s book, Networking for People Who Hate Networking, is far more than a handy guide on how to work a room. The book offers insights into what makes us who we are and how to use those traits to be successful in business and, if you care to look deeper, in our day to day lives. As Zack points out, Networking is really about connecting with people. Learning how you, and those you interact with, are “wired” opens the door to a whole new world of connectivity, whether it is around a networking event buffet, on an airplane or in your own home. This easy to read, often humorous book provides you with this knowledge as well as simple tips, learning activities and more. A++

I almost read this cover to cover! It is one of those books that you don’t want to put down, which I am not accustomed to in a business book! This read is like sitting down one-on-one with the author and getting a perspective to help maximize the real-life benefits of networking. If you ever thought that you don’t enjoy networking, or that you are not particularly good at it, this book will change your mind about that quickly. Like the author, I am an introvert and, come to think of it, underconnected too and I found many gems in this book. I think even people who love networking will learn a few things too. Great read and super useful.

Devora Zack is incredible! This was a delight to read and gave me a lot of practical advice. I am walking away with tangible steps to help me step out of my quiet self! This is a must for anyone that dreads office parties, networking lunches and all those other awkward moments where you need to talk with people. This book is a gem and I can’t wait for her next book to come out!

Most books that I have read that discuss introverts and extroverts tend to talk in stereotypes. Introverts are seen as shy, cold, and slow witted. Extroverts are seen as the life of the party, fun, and social. Indeed, there truly are key differences between introverts and extroverts. However, both have strengths and limitations. When we recognize this fact and start using what we have, we find that even networking isn’t as bad as we think.
Right from the start, Networking for People who Hate Networking states that what we all view as networking comes from a very narrow viewpoint. Yes, extroverts thrive in situations where they meet new people, mingle, take business cards, and talk, talk, talk. However, so long as an introvert understands his or her need for me-time and self care, he or she will enjoy meeting people with common interests, having one on one conversations, and create long term relationships. Quality versus quantity. It all evens out in the end.
I was fascinated by this book. As an introvert I very much enjoy being with people, talking, learning new things, and having new experiences. I just get physically drained by too much for too long. I simply can’t sustain what seems to energize my extrovert husband. Know yourself and use what you have.
