BOOK 143: QUIET: THE POWER OF INTROVERTS IN A WORLD THAT CAN'T STOP TALKING: SUSAN CAIN

Cain argues that modern Western culture misunderstands and undervalues the traits and capabilities of introverted people, leading to "a colossal waste of talent, energy, and happiness."

Notable individuals described by Cain as introverts, or whose notability is based on introverted personality characteristics:
Pablo Picasso ("Without great solitude, no serious work is possible”)

The Wall Street Journal's Philip Delves Broughton reviewed Quiet as "an earnest and enlightening 300-page inquiry into introversion and its uses," described examples of the research and investigations Cain undertook, and closed by stating "Ms. Cain's rich, intelligent book will probably have broad appeal."
