Quiet
The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
By Susan Cain
Edition: Unabridged
Subject(s): Nonfiction, Psychology, Self-Improvement

Description
At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the
ones
who prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying; who innovate and
create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over
brainstorming in teams. Although they are often labeled "quiet," it is
to
introverts that we owe many of the great contributions to society--from
van
Gogh's sunflowers to the invention of the personal computer.

Passionately argued, impressively researched, and filled with indelible
stories of real people, Quiet shows how dramatically we undervalue
introverts, and how much we lose in doing so. Taking the reader on a
journey
from Dale Carnegie's birthplace to Harvard Business School, from a Tony
Robbins seminar to an evangelical megachurch, Susan Cain charts the rise
of
the Extrovert Ideal in the twentieth century and explores its
far-reaching
effects. She talks to Asian-American students who feel alienated from
the
brash, backslapping atmosphere of American schools. She questions the
dominant values of American business culture, where forced collaboration
can
stand in the way of innovation, and where the leadership potential of
introverts is often overlooked. And she draws on cutting-edge research
in
psychology and neuroscience to reveal the surprising differences between
extroverts and introverts.

Perhaps most inspiring, she introduces us to successful introverts--from
a
witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his
talks,
to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of
questions.
Finally, she offers invaluable advice on everything from how to better
negotiate differences in introvert-extrovert relationships to how to
empower
an introverted child to when it makes sense to be a "pretend extrovert."

This extraordinary book has the power to permanently change how we see
introverts and, equally important, how introverts see themselves.
