What this book is about
Susan Cain's landmark work of popular psychology argues that the world has been built around extrovert ideals — the open office, the collaborative classroom, the charismatic leader — and that this has caused us to overlook and undervalue the people who work and think differently. Drawing on decades of research in psychology and neuroscience, Quiet traces how the American culture shifted from a culture of character to a culture of personality in the early twentieth century, and what that shift cost us. Practical, well-researched, and personally argued — Cain is an introvert writing about introversion from the inside.
