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:
Abraham Lincoln, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Marcel Proust, Frédéric
Chopin, Charles
Darwin, Steve Wozniak,
Mother Teresa, Gandhi
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."
