Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain
4.0
It was a slow but a good read. Susan Cain, being an introvert herself, doesn’t force the introverts to come out of their shell when dealing with the world. She asks the people to accept the introverts as much as the world praises the extroverts. In today’s world, an ideal person is an extrovert. She mentioned that many of the most important institutions of contemporary life are designed for those who enjoy group projects and high levels of stimulation. Susan Cain didn’t write this book to bash on the extroverts. She simply wants a world with a decent amount of equilibrium between these two types of personalities.
The multiple facets of introverts were presented in various scenarios. Referencing the researches and books on personality and psychology, she explained why the introverts behave or think in a certain way. So I think this book isn’t just for introverts to read and understand themselves, it is also for the extroverts to know more about the opposite personality of theirs.
I watched Susan Cain talked about the power of introverts on Ted Talk a few years back. Being one of the introverts with a big fat capital I, her talk was empowering. Since then I had been searching her book but couldn’t find at any bookstore. A couple of months back, this book resurfaced on my Instagram feeds and I felt the urge to read it. This time I just went straight to Bookdepository and ordered it.
