Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a
World That Can’t Stop Talking
By Susan Cain
Quiet shows how dramatically we
undervalue introverts and how much
we lose in doing so. Taking the reader
on a journey from Dale Carnegie’s
birthplace to Harvard Business School,
from a Tony Robbins seminar to an
evangelical megachurch, Susan Cain
charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal in
the twentieth century and explores
its far-reaching effects. She questions
the dominant values of American
business culture, where forced col-
laboration can stand in the way of
innovation, and where the leadership
potential of introverts is often over-
looked. She draws on cutting-edge
research in psychology and neurosci-
ence to reveal the surprising differenc-
es between extroverts and introverts.
