Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain
2.0
I did not need to read this book to know that I am an introvert. I have know that all of my life. However, I read this book in hopes of understanding why people who seem to be clearly extroverted call themselves introverts. This book did help with that, but the number of pages it took to say that such individuals pretty much fake it as extroverts was not necessary.
I was a bit disappointed in this book. From the title and description, I was expecting there to be some real insight and tips for how introverts could use their power. Such information was few and far between, though. Instead, this book read like an applauded list of famous, mostly self identified introverts, peppered with research about how and why introverts and extroverts are different. I cannot say that I actually learned anything new, or interesting for that matter, after reading this book.
