Much as I could relate to a lot of this, it should have been an essay rather than an entire book. Repetitive and overstated. But so true!

the intro kind of rubbed me the wrong way. didn’t feel like i would learn anything life changing from it
I feel this should be required reading for every teacher. Very insightful without too much data to overwhelm. Very validating for introverts and informative to extroverts. And very good at always emphasizing one is not better than the other and the world needs both in balance.
Reduced to 4 stars only because the section on cultural difference between American and Asian went on way too long. If I get bored at any point in a book, I have to dock it a star.

A lot of good stuff in here. Validating for self-identified introverts. Would be a beneficial read for many in this culture of the extrovert.

Really disappointed in this for how it fails to address sensitivity and neurodiversity with any nuance (despite mentioning both, but only in passing and with broad generalizations). In Cain's presentation, the ideas of introversion and extroversion are little more than personality traits determined in a casual online quiz. Even ambiversion, which she acknowledges in the promising intro chapter, gets forgotten in the rest of the book, which sets up two extremes in seemingly antagonistic opposition.
