This book took me a long time to get through, but not because I didn't enjoy it. It was well-researched, accessibly written, and validated my belief that I am neither an introvert or extrovert, but rather an ambivert. I also loved the final chapters, which gave me terrific insight on how to deal with my introverted husband and (likely) introverted child.

This is a great book. It really opened my eyes up to things about myself. I always knew that I was an introvert but felt like I had to acted more outgoing to fit in and be taken seriously. Cain really shows how powerful an introvert can be, just being herself. I am lucky to have landed in a career that takes advantage of my more introverted traits. I recommend this book for anyone. Because chances are that if you are not an introvert someone close to you is, and this book will really help understand them and yourself.
I already believe all of the things she’s saying about introverts and that society is wrong for its focus on gregarious people. I don’t need to keep hearing it without something new.
This book was definitely a good read. It makes you think about the power of introversion. In Western societies, extroversion is often over-emphasised, and qualities that go along with it, like thinking quickly, talking without knowing the complete answer, and making quick (and possibly rash) decisions. In other cultures, like Asian cultures, quieter people are considered wiser. This reminds me of the book Proverbs, where people who say little words are wise. I have learned more about quietness this year, and this book fits the theme. Though Cain does not argue that introverts are better than extroverts, while reading this book I started to think a more quiet attitude in life can indeed be wiser. This is not to say that we don't need more social, bubbly people around us. I just think it's good for all of us, introverts and extroverts alike, to weigh our words carefully.
Cain shows us that introverted individuals' more thoughtful attitudes can be important contributions to society - if only the voices of introverts are heard. She also shows introverts (like me, though I also have extrovert tendencies) that we should accept our natural tendency, and gives us tips how to handle living in a busy world.

Love this book. Susan Cain has collected some amazing research and put it together in an easily understandable way.
I've always known I was quiet. Most of the time I blamed that on being a home schooled only child. Reading her description of a class room atmosphere makes me shudder. I'm lucky that my parents were sensitive enough and in the position to work with my temperament instead of forcing me through something like that. I was also lucky that the other teachers I had (mostly art), encouraged me to work on projects on my own, something I excelled at.
I think the fact that I was always accepted plays a big part with my lack of shyness. I can speak in front of dozens of people (and do, when I'm teaching my classes), but at the end of the day I don't really want to go out with the girls, I'd rather go home and finish that book I've been working on. It was worth reading this book just to fully realize that I'm not the only one.
