Gretchen Rubin author of The Happiness Project Named ONE OF THE BEST Books OF THE YEAR BY People O: The Oprah Magazine Christian Science Monitor Inc. Library Journal Kirkus Reviews At least one - third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self - promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts Rosa Parks Chopin Dr. Seuss Steve Wozniak that we owe many of the great contributions to society. In Quiet Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She also introduces us to successful introverts from a witty high - octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks to a record - breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions.
