" Those who value a quiet, reflective life will feel a burden lifting from their shoulders as they read Susan Cain''s eloquent and well documented paean to introversion -and will no longer feel guilty or inferior for having made the better choice!" --MIHALY CSIKSZENTMIHALYI, author of Flow and Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Management, Claremont Graduate University " Superbly researched, deeply insightful, and a fascinating read , Quiet is an indispensable resource for anyone who wants to understand the gifts of the introverted half of the population." --GRETCHEN RUBIN, author of The Happiness Project "Quiet is a book of liberation from old ideas about the value of introverts. Cain's intelligence, respect for research, and vibrant prose put Quiet in an elite class with the best books from Malcolm Gladwell, Daniel Pink, and other masters of psychological non-fiction ." --TERESA AMABILE, Professor, Harvard Business School, and coauthor, The Progress Principle " As an introvert often called upon to behave like an extrovert, I found the information in this book revealing and helpful . Drawing on neuroscientific research and many case reports, Susan Cain explains the advantages and potentials of introversion and of being quiet in a noisy world." --ANDREW WEIL, author of Healthy Aging and Spontaneous Happiness "Susan Cain has done a superb job of sifting through decades of complex research on introversion, extroversion, and sensitivity-- this book will be a boon for the many highly sensitive people who are also introverts ." --ELAINE ARON, author of The Highly Sensitive Person " Quiet legitimizes and even celebrates the 'niche' that represents half the people in the world ." --GUY KAWASAKI, author of Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds, and Actions " Susan Cain is the definer of a new and valuable paradigm . In this moving and original argument, she makes the case that we are losing immense reserves of talent and vision because of our culture''s overvaluation of extroversion. A startling, important, and readable page-turner that will make quiet people see themselves in a whole new light ." --NAOMI WOLF, author of The Beauty Myth " Superb…A compelling reflection on how the Extrovert Ideal shapes our lives and why this is deeply unsettling . Based on meticulous research, it will open up a new and different conversation on how the personal is political and how we need to empower the legions of people who are disposed to be quiet, reflective, and sensitive." --BRIAN R. LITTLE, PH.D., Distinguished Scholar, Department of Social and Developmental Psychology, Cambridge University " Quiet elevates the conversation about introverts in our outwardly-oriented society to new heights . I think that many introverts will discover that, even though they didn''t know it, they have been waiting for this book all their lives ." --ADAM S. MCHUGH, author of Introverts in the Church "Gentle is powerful... Solitude is socially productive... These important counter-intuitive ideas are among the many reasons to take Quiet to a quiet corner and absorb its brilliant, thought-provoking message ." --ROSABETH MOSS KANTER, Harvard Business School professor, author of Confidence and SuperCorp " Memo to all you glad-handing, back-slapping, brainstorming masters of the universe out there: Stop networking and talking for a minute and read this book . In Quiet , Susan Cain does an eloquent and powerful job of extolling the virtues of the listeners and the thinkers--the reflective introverts of the world who appreciate that hard problems demand careful thought and who understand that it''s a good idea to know what you want to say before you open your mouth." --BARRY SCHWARTZ, author of Practical Wisdom and The Paradox of Choice, "A superbly researched, deeply insightful, and fascinating book that will change forever the way society views introverts ." - Gretchen Rubin , author of The Happiness Project " Susan Cain is the definer of a new and valuable paradigm . In this moving and original argument, she makes the case that we are losing immense reserves of talent and vision because of our culture's overvaluation of extroversion. A startling, important and readable page-turner that will make quiet people see themselves in a whole new light ." - Naomi Wolf , author of The Beauty Myth "Think Malcolm Gladwell for people who don't take themselves too seriously. Mark my words, this book will be a bestseller." - Guy Kawasaki , author of Enchantment "Susan Cain has done a superb job of sifting through decades of complex research. . . . This book will be a boon for the many highly sensitive people who are also introverts.

Synopsis
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Experience the book that started the Quiet Movement and revolutionized how the world sees introverts--and how introverts see themselves--by offering validation, inclusion, and inspiration "Superbly researched, deeply insightful, and a fascinating read, Quiet is an indispensable resource for anyone who wants to understand the gifts of the introverted half of the population."--Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR-- People, O: The Oprah Magazine, Christian Science Monitor, Inc., Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews What are the advantages of being an introvert? They make up at least one-third of the people we know. 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, impeccably researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how you see yourself., #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * Experience the book that started the Quiet Movement and revolutionized how the world sees introverts--and how introverts see themselves--by offering validation, inclusion, and inspiration "Superbly researched, deeply insightful, and a fascinating read, Quiet is an indispensable resource for anyone who wants to understand the gifts of the introverted half of the population."--Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR-- People, O: The Oprah Magazine, Christian Science Monitor, Inc., Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews What are the advantages of being an introvert?

Passionately argued, impeccably researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how you see yourself., 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.
