Introverts (those of us who gain energy from time spent in solitude) make up a third of the population, but often feel alienated in a culture geared toward extroverts. In her new book, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, Susan Cain offers a perspective on life as an introvert, examining misconceptions and celebrating introverts’ contributions to society. A great read, not just for those who identify as introverts.
