WARNING: This is not the actual book "Quiet" by Susan Cain. Do not buy this "Summary, Review & Analysis" if you are looking for a full copy of this great book. As you read Susan Cain's insightful account, our "Summary, Review & Analysis" helps you figure out exactly what to take away from the book, and how to use it. The Quiet Revolution is underway, thanks to Susan Cain's "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking." This summary explains how to be an introvert in an extroverted world, and how to spot an introvert if you are not one. It's someone who shuns the team environment in favor of going it alone. Don't let their quiet nature fool you though; the introverts are the ones that shape society. Rosa Parks? Introvert. Chopin? Introvert. They aren't looking for promotion; they just want the job done right. "Quiet" details society's minimizing of introverts, and it explains how we are worse because of it. This summary explains how Cane coined the phrase "Extrovert Ideal," which is a twentieth century phenomenon that says if you are not an extrovert, you will never succeed. A successful introvert is someone who is extrovert on the outside and introvert on the inside. It's the lecturer bouncing around like a lab rat on speed that retires to his dressing room afterward in solace. It's the hyperactive salesperson who could sell water to a drowning man, only to quietly ponder the questions of his clients after each day. "Quiet" is a powerful work, capable of changing the world's view of introverts, and capable of changing how introverts view themselves.
