À propos de cet audio

From a renowned psychiatrist comes the first book to explore the otrovert personality—someone who feels like an outsider in any group, regardless of its members—revealing all the advantages of being an otrovert and ways they contribute to the world.



Were you the kid who never wanted to join after school clubs or go to sleepaway camp? Do you loathe parties but love spending time with close friends one-on-one? Are you allergic to teamwork but thrive creatively and professionally when working alone? Do you struggle to fit in? If so, you are likely an otrovert.



Otroverts are not natural born joiners. Unlike introverts, they are not shy or quiet, and do not quickly tire from one-on-one socializing. Yet in large groups they feel uncomfortable, alienated, and alone.


Unlike those who have been excluded or marginalized, otroverts are embraced and often quite popular. Yet they never feel like they truly belong.



In a culture that puts a premium on joining, many otroverts have gone through life feeling misunderstood. But, contrary to what we have been taught, argues psychiatrist Rami Kaminski, belonging is not a requirement for living a rich, rewarding life. Quite the opposite.


When you have no affinity for a particular group, your self-worth is not conditioned on the group’s approval. You can enjoy deep connection in individual relationships without the obligation to follow the rules the group follows, or care about what the group cares about. Best of all, you know of no other way to think or be, other than for yourself.


The Gift of Not Belonging urges otroverts to embrace their unique gifts, and equips them with the knowledge and tools to thrive in a communal world.

So many of the characterizations described here of the outrovert are overlapping to many other personalities or conditions such as introvert, autism, ADHD. The description is just so overlapping that it seems unnecessary to make this extra category. Especially describing the outrovert child. I'm not sure if this author does not have children, but most children struggle with transition, and struggle at the end of the day after being around so many people in school all day and need to decompress. This is very common and doesn't mean that we have to pathologize it. I had high hopes for this book and this concept, but so many traits that are described are introvert, extrovert, ADHD, hypersensitivity, artistic. But I appreciate the effort in categorizing these traits. I just don't see them as different than many other personality categories.

I had high hopes.
