Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking is a 2012 nonfiction book by American author Susan Cain, published by Crown Publishers. The book argues that modern Western culture misunderstands and undervalues the traits and capabilities of introverted people, leading to a colossal waste of talent, energy, and happiness. Cain charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She introduces us to successful introverts from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. The narrative is passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people.
