In Quiet, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. 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. Filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.
