About This Book
The Power of Introverts in a World That
Can't Stop Talking
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.
