Ok, we're reading the original version, for adults. The one with, I assume, extra science (and I mean that as praise :). The kid's version appeals to me too; I'll have to try to read it from my other library.
Did any interesting ideas come out of the discussion irl for this?

Meanwhile, I read the original book when it was new and was *very* impressed. I really wish that I could attend the meeting on July 20th and discuss it with you-all.
One reason I appreciate it so much is that Cain makes the distinction between being Shy and being Introverted. I'm not particularly shy, in that I have anxiety talking to ppl, but I am very introverted, in that I prefer smaller groups, quieter environments, less stimulation, and down time.
How about you? Or how about people you know, love, or work with? Are you shy? Is your child not shy, but introverted and easily over-stimulated? Do you value your coworkers who aren't as vocal and outgoing?
