Quiet

Quiet: the power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking / Susan Cain 333 pgs.

One third to one half of the population are introverts.  What does this mean?  They can be people with outgoing personalities at times but who prefer to "recharge" away from a crowd.  It follows that extroverts often gain energy from crowds.  How to manage these differences in a group at work, in personal space or really any relationship?  Cain gives plenty of information.  Being an introvert isn't a bad thing, just a different.  She says that introverts are sometimes misunderstood but does a good job of educating readers.  What to do if you are an introvert, have one in your class (teachers), have one as an offspring?  Great advice is contained in this book.

I enjoyed the examples of famous introverts and feel very schooled on the differences between introverts and extroverts.
