Listened to the audiobook. Really would give this 3.5 stars. Some interesting science but found a lot of it a little obvious. Quite a bit seemed focussed on particular professional jobs that would likely require public speaking / presentations. Some useful insights so definitely worth a read.

Susan Cain's research is both deep and broad, and her voice is a deeply moving, sympathetic one. As an introvert myself, it was interesting to hear the kind of information scientists and psychologists are figuring out about what makes introverts tick. In a world that can be so critical of introverts, this was a hugely refreshing read. A great read for anyone who is, loves, or spends time with an introvert.

Picked it up, put it down. Read it in short bursts. And what I found is similar to how I felt reading Haidt’s The Anxious Generation—most of the book confirmed what I already knew or suspected. But it’s still nice to see the solutions or actionable items for introverts like me. I really found myself when Cain wrote about introverts who are high self-monitors. Also, there were a few pages of helpful information for the classroom — parent or teacher perspective.
Now i need a book on how introverted parents can best support their extroverted kids

Audiobook. I stopped listening with 4 chapters left because all that was left were personal stories of how people "found their calling" in business, and managed to balance their introverted personality. Far too much glorification and analysis of how to be "successful", using examples of people who also happen to be introverts, like Warren Buffett. I did find some good information in here though that helped me understand how personality develops and how the extrovert ideal came to be.
