Quiet: The power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking by Susan Cain

 

Quiet is a book about being an introvert in a culture which rewards extravert’s. 

Good points:
As a book reading nerd this book makes me feel better about staying in and not going out.
I enjoyed Cain's adventures to  "life coaching" conventions.
I liked her relating her theories to real life stories and psychological studies - half way between a science book and a self-help book. 

Bad points:
Some of the arguments aren't backed up by the studies she cites.
All of the case studies she writes about are about business professionals.
