A new addition to my list of favorite business books QUIET: The Power Of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain Excerpt from the book Today we make room for a remarkably narrow range of personality styles. We’re told that to be great is to be bold, to be happy is to be sociable. We see ourselves as a nation of extroverts—which means that we’ve lost sight of who we really are. Depending on which study you consult, one third to one half of Americans are introverts—in other words, one out of every two or three people you know. (Given that the United States is among the most extroverted of nations, the number must be at least as high in other parts of the world.) If you’re not an introvert yourself, you are surely raising, managing, married to, or coupled with one. Rich, intelligent... enlightening. - Wall Street Journal thepowerofintroverts/2012/02/10/ny-times-review-my-reaction/ ted/speakers/susan_cain
