The book that started the Quiet Revolution
At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are
the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create
but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over
working in teams. It is to introverts--Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr.
Seuss, Steve Wozniak--that we owe many of the great contributions
to society.
In "Quiet, "Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue
introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She charts the
rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and
explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She also
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. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled
with indelible stories of real people, "Quiet "has the power to
permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important,
how they see themselves.
