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. I particularly enjoyed the parts about introversion and Asian cultures (I live in Japan), and the suggestions for how a mixed couple,in which one partner is an extrovert and the other is an introvert, can communicate better in spite of different communication styles.

"Our culture made a virtue of living only as extroverts. We discouraged the inner journey, the quest for a center. So we lost our center and have to find it again."

4 or 4.5 stars
Loved this book! Was a very empowering and insightful experience reading it and identifying myself in so much of what Cain writes about.
Full review to come!

Excellent book! Both my daughter and I are introverts and can relate. I like the authors referring to well known people who also are introverts and achieved much. I liked the fact that she referenced biographies in the back of the book.
An amazing book that in a world that can't shut up affirms introverts as a creative, necessary force in the world.
