Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking

In Quiet:  The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, written by Susan Cain dramatically explores the introverts of the world and how we undervalue them.  She researches into psychology and neuroscience to reveal the surprising differences between extroverts and introverts.  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.  She talks to Asian-American students who feel the alienated atmosphere of American schools.  She questions the American business culture, where forced collaboration can stand in the way of innovation.  Where the potential leadership of introverts is overlooked.  This book has the power to change how we see introverts, or most importantly how they see themselves.  Finally, most inspiring she introduces successful introverts like Rosa Park and Dr. Seuss. This non-fiction book shows that humanity is very versatile and you don’t have to change your personality based on others expectations.
