Description

A minumum of one-third of the folks we all know are introverts. They're those who choose hearing talking, reading to partying; who produce and innovate but hate self-marketing; who like focusing on their very own over thinking in groups. Though they're frequently tagged "quiet," it's to introverts that we owe most of the excellent benefits to culture--from van Gogh’s sunflowers for the creation of the private computer.Passionately contended, impressively researched, and full of marked tales of actual people, Quiet displays how significantly we ignore introverts, and how much we lose in doing this. Taking the audience on a trip from Dale Carnegie’s homeland to Harvard Business-School, from a Tony Robbins seminar to an evangelical megachurch, Susan Cain charts the increase of the Extrovert Ideal in the twentieth-century and examines its far reaching results.
