> 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.
