Review: Quiet: The Power of Introverts by Susan Cain

I was so excited to read this book after I saw Susan Cain’s video of her TEDTalk about introverts. Nearly everything she talked about in her TEDTalk, I found myself nodding my head in agreement. I’ve been living as an introvert my entire life, and for the longest time, I felt like an outcast. I would find my parents embarrassed of my ‘shy’ or ‘withdrawn’ demeanor and worried that there was something fundamentally wrong with my social skills development growing up. I think this year was the FIRST time I ever heard that it was okay to be an introvert. And in Susan Cain’s book, research on top of research; interview after interview, truly proves this. It actually empowered me in many different ways. In this highly extroverted country, the culture idolizes the extrovert, while the introvert is seen as weak. Cain proves that this ‘extrovert ideal’ is cultural. In other countries, being an introvert means power. In America, however, getting ahead & being overtly assertive has become the way of life, and the many, many amazing qualities of introverts is clouded. Introverts tend to have a better understanding of themselves and tend to be more aware of the needs of others. Introverts tend to have more well-thought out ideas, as they like to share only when they are comfortable with the ideas. Introverts are GREAT leaders and innovators. This book allowed me to truly understand myself and my personality type. If you’re an introvert, I’d highly recommend this book. You’ll feel so great about yourself, and gain so much knowledge.

Thanks for the ‘review’ I will be looking this one up for sure.

Sorry for the lack of posts of late everyone.
I was sent to Australia by my company for 2 weeks to do a small job.
7 weeks later and I am still here and the job has become huge.
As you can see from the photo, it involves being at sea and the internet is patchy to say the least.
Looking forward to catching up with you all and a massive back log of posts in about 6-8 weeks when I get home.

Cheers.
