This book really made me think. Having some definite introverted tendencies myself, it was so nice to hear someone say that those characteristics can actually be a positive thing.

great, great book. being an introvert and having a good and thoughtful understanding of what this means, i still learned a lot from this book. cain's research for quiet seems very well done (and so interesting) and her style is engaging. i think this is one of those books that everyone should read as it will likely help open some eyes and minds and allow people to better understand and respect one another.

Cain puts forth much information in support of introverts. She has some good points about the US being extrovert oriented. I read this during the midterm elections 2014. And although, particularly at the state level, there are some introverted policy wonks who manage to get elected, our politicians are almost by definition extroverts. And I agree with her that schools and businesses should make places that are comfortable for everyone especially if they wish to access the talents of all people.

I really enjoyed this book! I think it gave me a really good perspective about so many people around me.
