![]() ![]() Whether you identify as an extrovert, introvert, or ambivert - this book is persuasive, timely and a heartfelt exposition into the power of introverts in an excessively loud and gregarious society.Ĭain seeks to overturn what is called the “Extrovert Ideal”, where Western cultures are dominated by the omnipresent belief that the ideal self is “ gregarious, alpha and comfortable in the spotlight.” It was eye-opening to discover that the preference of action over contemplation is so pervasive in modern society, effectively devaluing introverts in a world that excessively and misguidedly respects extroverts. ![]() As an extrovert, I have never considered the power of introversion until Susan Cain published her ground-breaking book analyzing the pitfalls of the “Extrovert Ideal” and the value of introverts in a world that favours extroversion as the preferred character trait. Personality traits and the characteristics of introversion and extroversion have always been a fascination to me since we did an exercise using MBTI personality types at work. ![]() Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking (Book Cover) ![]()
