MORE ADVANCE NOISE FOR QUIET “An intriguing and potentially life-altering examination of the human psyche that is sure to beneɹt both introverts and extroverts alike.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Gentle is powerful ... Solitude is socially productive ... These important counterintuitive ideas are among the many reasons to take Quiet to a quiet corner and absorb its brilliant, thought-provoking message.” —ROSABETH MOSS KANTER, professor at Harvard Business School, author of Confidence and SuperCorp “An informative, well-researched book on the power of quietness and the virtues of having a rich inner life. It dispels the myth that you have to be extroverted to be happy and successful.” —JUDITH ORLOFF, M.D., author of Emotional Freedom “In this engaging and beautifully written book, Susan Cain makes a powerful case for the wisdom of introspection. She also warns us ably about the downside to our culture’s noisiness, including all that it risks drowning out. Above the din, Susan’s own voice remains a compelling presence—thoughtful, generous, calm, and eloquent. Quiet deserves a very large readership.” —CHRISTOPHER LANE, author of Shyness: How Normal Behavior Became a Sickness “Susan Cain’s quest to understand introversion, a beautifully wrought journey from the lab bench to the motivational speaker’s hall, oʃers convincing evidence for valuing substance over style, steak over sizzle, and qualities that are, in America, often derided. This book is brilliant, profound, full of feeling and brimming with insights.” —SHERI FINK, M.D., author of War Hospital “Brilliant, illuminating, empowering! Quiet gives not only a voice, but a path to homecoming for so many who’ve walked through the better part of their lives thinking the way they engage with the world is something in need of fixing.” —JONATHAN FIELDS, author of Uncertainty: Turning Fear and Doubt into Fuel for Brilliance
“Once in a blue moon, a book comes along that gives us startling new insights. Quiet is that book: it’s part page-turner, part cutting-edge science. The implications for business are especially valuable: Quiet oʃers tips on how introverts can lead eʃectively, give winning speeches, avoid burnout, and choose the right roles. This charming, gracefully written, thoroughly researched book is simply masterful.” —ADAM M. GRANT, PH.D., associate professor of management, the Wharton School of Business STILL MORE ADVANCE NOISE FOR QUIET “Shatters misconceptions ... Cain consistently holds the reader’s interest by presenting individual proɹles ... and reporting on the latest studies. Her diligence, research, and passion for this important topic has richly paid off.” —Publishers Weekly “Quiet elevates the conversation about introverts in our outwardly oriented society to new heights. I think that many introverts will discover that, even though they didn’t know it, they have been waiting for this book all their lives.” —ADAM S. MCHUGH, author of Introverts in the Church “Susan Cain’s Quiet is wonderfully informative about the culture of the extravert ideal and the psychology of a sensitive temperament, and she is helpfully perceptive about how introverts can make the most of their personality preferences in all aspects of life. Society needs introverts, so everyone can benefit from the insights in this important book.” —JONATHAN M. CHEEK, professor of psychology at Wellesley College, co-editor of Shyness: Perspectives on Research and Treatment “A brilliant, important, and personally aʃecting book. Cain shows that, for all its virtue, America’s Extrovert Ideal takes up way too much oxygen. Cain herself is the perfect person to make this case—with winning grace and clarity she shows us what it looks like to think outside the group.” —CHRISTINE KENNEALLY, author of The First Word
“What Susan Cain understands—and readers of this fascinating volume will soon appreciate—is something that psychology and our fast-moving and fast-talking society have been all too slow to realize: Not only is there really nothing wrong with being quiet, reɻective, shy, and introverted, but there are distinct advantages to being this way. —JAY BELSKY, Robert M. and Natalie Reid Dorn Professor, Human and Community Development, University of California, Davis “Author Susan Cain exempliɹes her own quiet power in this exquisitely written and highly readable page-turner. She brings important research and the introvert experience.” —JENNIFER B. KAHNWEILER, PH.D., author of The Introverted Leader “Several aspects of Quiet are remarkable. First, it is well informed by the research literature but not held captive by it. Second, it is exceptionally well written, and ‘reader friendly.’ Third, it is insightful. I am sure many people wonder why brash, impulsive behavior seems to be rewarded, whereas reɻective, thoughtful behavior is overlooked. This book goes beyond such superɹcial impressions to a more penetrating analysis.” —WILLIAM GRAZIANO, professor, Department of Psychological Sciences, Purdue University
