QUIET

Author:  Susan Cain
Genre:  Non-Fiction, Standalone
Published:  2012
Personal Rating:  4.25/5 (very good +)
Format/Narrator:  Audiobook/Kathe Mazur
Yearly Count:  23


A study of introverts (and by default - extroverts).

There wasn't a lot of earthshaking, surprising revelations in this book; however, it was incredibly interesting, and I enjoyed how it was shared.  I did learn a thing or two (minor things) that help in understanding both types of people.

  1. There are several introverts in my family so I really want to read this. I'm glad to see it's so good.

  3. I've been meaning to download this one as I keep hearing such wonderful things about it. It's only been recently that I've understood myself better as I learn more about being introverted (now if I could only get Scott to understand!).

    1. Trish ~ OH! You have to read this! And then have Scott read it. Or you could read/listen to it together. :) Like I said, there's nothing you probably don't already know, but it's very interesting. I would have NEVER pegged you as an introvert.

    2. Funny huh? I *can* be very outgoing if I'm comfortable--which is why blogging is great for me-- but I've also started recognizing my blogging breaks as reflections of my introvertedness.

  4. I do want to read this one. Like most people (I think) I fall somewhere close to line between introvert and extrovert. This book looks like a fascinating way of looking at behavior.

    1. Stacybuckeye ~ Some of the walking "close to the line" is addressed. It is fascinating, but nothing to blow your mind. :)
