Shopping addiction, pathological buying, or compulsive buying disorder are all mental health conditions characterized by the persistent, excessive, impulsive, and uncontrollable purchase of products despite severe psychological, social, occupational, and financial consequences. Unlike ordinary non-addicted shoppers, who buy to improve their mood, cope with stress, gain social approval/recognition, and improve their self-image, compulsive buyers buy to improve their mood, cope with stress, gain social support/recognition, and improve their self-image. Although the consequences of long-term compulsive buying include feelings of regret/remorse for purchases, shame, guilt, legal and financial problems, and interpersonal difficulties, people with compulsive buying fail to stop buying.

John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States, as well as the country's youngest and first Catholic leader. His singularity foreshadowed a sort of challenge to his presidency from the start. Many people were taken aback by his assassination. It was the height of the Cold War and the United States' involvement in Vietnam. John F. Kennedy was elected President on January 20, 1961, by a razor-thin margin of 113,000 votes out of 69 million casts against his Republican opponent, Richard Nixon2. He was almost immediately confronted with the Cuban missile crisis, which he handled carefully, allowing him to defuse tensions and avert war. This immediately helped to establish a new image for him, which is still held in high regard today.
On November 22, 1963, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, President of the United States of America, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Since nearly 50 years after President John F. Kennedy's assassination, much speculation, theory, and movement have existed. In fact, it appears that the only remaining mystery from the previous century is this one.

We often seem to be living in an extrovert world-it is the route to attention. We teach our children to speak up, not be shy and encourage them to be bold. Even our parents would tell us that the squeaky wheel gets the oil! The media tells us that the person willing to be the loudest will win the reality show, get the recording contract, get hits on YouTube... Growing up, we were encouraged to find our voice, choose a research area, and set the framework for a lifetime profession.
Many claims that Americans live in an extroverted society that rewards extroverted behavior and rejects introversion. This is because the United States is currently a culture of personality, whereas other cultures are cultures of character. Being an introvert in an extrovert's world is doable-maybe even pleasant. And maybe the world does not truly belong to one or the other, but the symbiosis between the two. The most important point to remember is that both types are equally important in their worth and contributions to society. Introverts should not be viewed as the underdog or disadvantaged because they are less outgoing or verbal. We have all heard of famous introverts such as Bill Gates, Steven Spielberg, J. K. Rowling, Albert Einstein, Jane Austen, Thomas Jefferson, and Mahatma Gandhi, individuals who, through their quiet ways, have made a tremendous impact on human culture.
In this book, you will learn all about introverted and extroverted personalities, the right way to communicate, and the solutions to success today.
