I don’t read much nonfiction. When I do, it usually pertains to geeks, internet culture, fandom, writing, and introversion. Being an introvert myself, I decided to read "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking" by Susan Cain. It cites a lot of studies and other research, but remains understandable and enjoyable to read. "Quiet" talks about the habits and tendencies of introverts, how they express themselves, and how they try to get by in a world that much more accommodating and rewarding towards extroverts. While "Quiet" does favor the introverts, it doesn’t fail to point out the advantages that extroverts have and the usefulness of their abilities in certain situations. "Quiet" is in favor of balance between extroverts and introverts, and hopes that each will try to help and understand one another. By necessity the book has to speak in generalities, and acknowledges that there are exceptions to every rule, especially here when every person is different. I highly recommend reading this book, both for introvert and extroverts. If you are an introvert, it helps to know that you may be different, but there’s nothing wrong with you. Extroverts may want to read this as well, if only to learn how your introverted peers operate and how to avoid overwhelming them.
