SUSAN CAIN - GEBRAUCHT QUIET THE POWER OF INTRO...

The book that started the Quiet Revolution  At least one-third of the people we know are
introverts. 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
introverts-Rosa Parks  Chopin  Dr. Seuss  Steve Wozniak-that we owe many of the great
contributions to society.   In Quiet  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 introverts-from 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  superbly researched  and filled with indelible stories
of real people  Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and  equally
important  how they see themselves.  Now with Extra Libris material  including a reader's guide
and bonus content
