As an introvert who has struugled with being an introvert throughout my life this book really helped me understand why I am the way I am. This is a great book for not only introverts to read but also parents, teachers, and spouses of introverts. I can definitely relate to some of the stories in this...
Review to follow!
This book, although interesting, greatly irritated me. The Author was very one sided when it came to her arguments, usually using a quick blurb saying "extroverts are cool too".

Shhh! Hey, c’mere. I know, I know, I’m whispering, but you have to when you are talking about a book like this. Quiet. It’s called Quiet.

I finally understand some things I wanted to understand for years :) It's ok to be 'different' - to prefer book over a loud party, to seek solitude after a busy day at the office, to yearn for silence where everyo...
While reading this book this week, I've been putting a new lens on all kinds of observations -- was Darcy in P &P, a misunderstood introvert, etc.? Certainly brings some balance to the general cultural stereotype of introverts. A little uneven in its writing at times, but overall, well worth reading...
I need a magic button that will allow me to add a sixth star for this book.
