The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
“The best business/management/leadership book of the century.”
— Tom Peters, legendary author and management thinker
Read the book that started the Quiet movement, spent eight years on the New York Times bestseller list, is a #1 New York Times bestseller, and has been translated into over 40 languages.
At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts—Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak—that we owe many of the great contributions to society.
Superbly researched, deeply insightful, and a fascinating read, Quiet is an indispensable resource for anyone who wants to understand the gifts of the introverted half of the population.
—Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project
A smart, lively book about the value of silence and solitude that makes you want to shout from the rooftops. Quiet is an engaging and insightful look into the hearts and minds of those who change the world instead of tweeting about it.
—Daniel Gilbert, Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, author of Stumbling on Happiness
This book is a pleasure to read and will make introverts and extroverts alike think twice about the best ways to be themselves and interact with differing personality types.
