To Summarize: Susan Cain Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
WARNING: This is not the original book QUIET by Susan Cain. This is a summary of the original book.
ABOUT THE BOOK
QUIET examines introversion in western culture and then gives specific suggestions for introverts to thrive. Using examples of introverted leaders that include Rosa Parks, Bill Gates, Eleanor Roosevelt and Warren Buffet, author Susan Cain shows us how these icons made the world a better place because of their introversion. Drawing on studies than span decades, she exposes misconceptions about introverts and how our society suffers as a result of these misconceptions.
An introvert herself, Susan Cain reveals specific techniques introverts can use to become more effective in a culture that seems to revere extroverts. Plus, you’ll get suggestions on how to raise an introverted child, how to be more successful on the job, how to create better schools and workplaces and how introverted/extroverted couples can thrive despite their differences.
It is a beautifully written book, deftly mixing history, science and individual anecdotes.
This chapter-by-chapter summary is an aid to anyone who has read the original book and needs a refresher, or someone who wants quick access to the book’s important points. Perhaps you’ll be so intrigued you’ll want a copy of the original!
