About This Book
A paradigm-shifting exploration of introversion and its undervalued gifts. Susan Cain argues that Western culture's bias toward extroversion has stifled and misunderstood the power of introverted people, whose qualities of reflection, concentration, and solitude are essential to creativity and leadership. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and cultural history, Quiet became a global phenomenon.
