They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introvertsRosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniakthat we owe many of the great contributions to society. u003cbru003e u003cbru003eIn u003ciu003eQuietu003c/iu003e, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She also introduces us to successful introvertsfrom a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Passionately argued, impeccably researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, u003ciu003eQuietu003c/iu003e has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003cbu003eNow with Extra Libris material, including a readers guide and bonus contentu003c/bu003e
