Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain

4.0

My favorite non-fiction read in quite a while. I found myself saying, "Yes, exactly!" quite often. I'm an introvert who was blessed to grow up in a home where introversion was valued, but I see so many who feel inferior because they don't enjoy loud, people-filled times.
Admittedly it was biased toward the introvert, and there were times when the reporting seemed to skip "the other side of the story", but I did even find a few hints on understanding my extroverted husband and why he works the way he does sometimes. I also found ideas for helping my introverted kiddos harness and appreciate their power.

I especially appreciated the section on the changes in our culture from one of Character to one of Personality... especially as seen in the evangelical movement.

I have several people in my life, both introverts and extroverts, to whom I'll be recommending this book.
