Quiet is a book in which Susan Cain argues on the
value of introverts to society, who, according to her, are under-appreciated.
She justifies her argument using specific examples of people and events to show
how are way of life has been largely influenced by people who, as defined on
the sleeve of the book, "prefer listening to speaking, reading to
partying, who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion".
After reading the rest of this
blurb, I get the sense that this book will be in a similar format to blink. This is something that I didn't know
upon choosing this book, I mainly decided on it based on the title and
subtitle: “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking”.
Since I would consider myself more introverted than extroverted, the main
appeal of this book comes from the fact that it portrays introverts in a
positive light. Therefore, I hope that I will gain a better knowledge of what
skills or qualities introverts possess that separates them from the rest of the
world.
