More than a third of all the people we will meet in our lifetime are introverts. They are those who would rather listen than speak; who prefer working in solitude than in teams; who create and innovate but aren't as inclined to promote themselves. Steve Wozniak, Dr. Seuss, Chopin, and Rosa Parks are only some of the names of the introverts who have moved the world.
Author Susan Cain claims that introverts are terribly undervalued in society. Beginning from the 20th century, Cain traces the rise of the Extrovert Ideal and discovers how deep it has been embedded in our culture. In Quiet, she introduces us to introverts who have found success in life (despite being told otherwise)—from a clever and spirited public speaker who retreats into solitude once his talks are over, to a trailblazing salesman who has found power in asking questions.
Quiet is written with passion, its arguments supported by thorough research and experiences by people in the real world. It contains the power to reframe society's view of introverts for the better, and just as important—if not more—introverts' view of themselves.

BOOK OVERVIEW
Susan Cain’s Quiet provides scientific research, compelling discussions, and true-to-life stories as recounted by real introverts to furnish a deeper understanding of introversion. Susan Cain is an introvert herself, and she is hopeful that one day the stigma around introversion will be broken and introverts can live their lives free from society’s judgment.
Quiet shows a glimpse of what transpires inside both the introvert and the extrovert brain. Cain aspires that her book will allow the readers to see introverts in a better way and to be mindful of their value and great contributions to the world at large.
Quiet consists of eleven chapters and is structured in such a way that its four major themes are explained in four main parts.
Part One presents the Extrovert Ideal and consists of three chapters.
In Chapter One, Cain explores the factors that brought extroversion as society’s ideal, how it came to be accepted, and how it continues to be a part of today’s culture.
Chapter Two not only exposes the myth behind society’s definition of a charismatic leader, but also expounds on the great shift to a Culture of Personality from a Culture of Character.
In Chapter Three, the concept of the New Groupthink is presented, and Cain describes how creativity and collaboration are affected.
Part Two consists of four chapters. Here, Cain presents considerable evidence from scientific research for a further understanding on personality traits–specifically about temperament.
Chapter Four discusses whether it is by nature or by nurture that temperament is affected. Cain also introduces the Orchid Hypothesis.
