"Quiet" by Susan Cain will change how you think about
introverts forever. A "Sunday Times" and "New York Times"
Bestseller. 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 introvertextrovert divide is the most fundamental
dimension of personality. And at least a third of us are on the
introverted side. 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. Yet extroverts have
taken over. Shyness, sensitivity and seriousness are often seen as
being negative. Introverts feel reproached for being the way they
are. In "Quiet", Susan Cain shows how the brain chemistry of
introverts and extroverts differs, and how society misunderstands
and undervalues introverts. She gives introverts the tools to
better understand themselves and take full advantage of their
strengths. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled
with real stories, "Quiet" will permanently change how we see
introverts - and how you see yourself. "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. In our booming culture, hers is a
still, small voice that punches above its weight. Perhaps rather
than sitting back and asking people to speak up, managers and
company leaders might lean forward and listen". Megan Walsh, "The
Times". "Quiet is a very timely book, and Cain''s central thesis is
fresh and important. 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". Susan Cain is the owner of The Negotiation Company, a firm
that trains people in negotiation and communication skills. Her
clients include Merrill Lynch, Standard Poor, University of
Chicago Business School and many of the US'' most powerful law
firms. She previously practiced corporate law for seven years with
Cleary Gottlieb Steen Hamilton. She lives in New York with
her husband and two sons.
