Quiet
A SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, THIS BOOK WILL CHANGE HOW YOU SEE INTROVERTS - AND YOURSELF - FOREVER. Our lives are driven by a fact that most of us can't name and don't understand. It defines who our friends and lovers are, which careers we choose, and whether we blush when we're embarrassed. That fact is whether we're an introvert or an extrovert. The most fundamental dimension of personality, at least a third of us are introverts, and yet shyness, sensitivity and seriousness are often seen as a negative. Some of the world's most talented people are introverts - without them we wouldn't have the Apple computer, the theory of relativity and Van Gogh's sunflowers. In Quiet, Susan Cain shows how society misunderstands and undervalues introverts while giving them the tools to better understand themselves and take full advantage of their strengths. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with real stories, whether an introvert or extrovert, this book will change how you see human beings for good. ***** 'I can't get Quiet out of my head. It is an important book - so persuasive and timely and heartfelt it should inevitably effect change in schools and offices' Jon Ronson, The Guardian 'Susan Cain's Quiet has sparked a quiet revolution . . . Perhaps rather than sitting back and asking people to speak up, managers and company leaders might lean forward and listen' Megan Walsh, The Times 'Maybe the extrovert ideal is no longer as powerful as it was; perhaps it is time we all stopped to listen to the still, small voice of calm' Daisy Goodwin, The Sunday Times
Quiet: by Susan Cain | Summary & Analysis
In our media and celebrity and socially obsessed world where even world leaders indulge in ‘selfies’, one can be forgiven for thinking that everyone is an extrovert, or tries to be. Everyone tries to be more popular, have more friends, be more visible or just tries to gain more media attention than the next person. And if you don’t, if you are not visible or voluble, it seems as though you are misunderstood, irrelevant and undervalued says Susan Cain in her thought provoking book ‘Quiet’. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px 'Trebuchet MS'; color: #000000; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000} li.li1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px 'Trebuchet MS'; color: #000000; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000} span.s1 {font-kerning: none} span.s2 {font: 11.0px Symbol} ul.ul1 {list-style-type: disc} A Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller, Quiet explores the fact that most people are either extrovert or introvert, and how those introverts struggle in a modern world that relegates them to obscurity. She draws on real life examples of people such as Rosa Parks, a mild mannered and quiet person who triggered huge change for the rights of black people in America which resulted in Martin Luther King’s (an extrovert) ‘I have a dream’ speech. Susan Cain, founder The Negotiation Company based in New York, provides tools in her book for those thoughtful and sensitive ‘introverted’ people to better understand themselves, many of whom have changed our world. Without them, we would not have The Theory of Relativity, Apple, Google, Schindler’s List, E.T. or Van Gough’s Sunflowers. ‘Quiet’ is Well researched and shows how the brains of introverts and extroverts differ Timely in a world that needs to listen rather than talk Is very thought-provoking and should be essential reading for all company executives Is relevant is an increasingly unequal world
