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.

I'm glad this book was written, finally.
"Quiet gives not only a voice, but a path to homecoming for so many who've walked through the better part of their lives thinking the way they engage with the world is something in need of fixing. ~Jonathan Fields

Second time reading. First half felt a bit too American, but really enjoyed the second half.
