Introvert Susan Cain reveals how society undervalues the quiet among us. From the high-pressure world of Wall Street to the extroverted culture of American schools, Quiet charts the rise of the "Extrovert Ideal" and how it leaves introverts feeling alienated. Drawing on cutting-edge psychology, Cain introduces us to successful, innovative introverts who have learned to harness their strengths. Prepare to see yourself, and the world, in a whole new light.
