It’s time for a “quiet revolution!”
America’s “culture of popularity” holds extroverts—those who are gregarious, outspoken, and larger-than-life—in higher regard than those who tend to be reserved, serious, and contemplative. But think of all the great introverts—Rosa Parks, Albert Einstein, John Quincy Adams, and Lewis Carroll, to name a few—who were great leaders and thinkers, but just have a different way of expressing themselves.
Based on extensive research related to the latest psychology and neuroscience, and in-depth interviews with renowned psychologists and professors, Quiet looks at “the power of introverts” from a cultural point of view.
The summary and analysis in this ebook are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to great works of nonfiction.

    She recommends arriving early so there’s time to scope out the territory.

    It’s also important—and useful—to note that, regardless of their inherent differences, introverts and extroverts seem to appreciate one another’s styles. In a study conducted by developmental psychologist Avril Thorne that gathered introverts and extroverts together in conversation, first with their own “type” and then with the other, Thorne found both sides helped each other out. Introverts talking to extroverts tended to choose topics that were lighter and less personal while extroverts talking to introverts seemed a bit more relaxed and less interested in performing for their audience.

    Asendorpf and Wilpers were correct in their assumption that the extroverts would make more friends than the introverts, but what they didn’t expect to find was the quality of the friendships the introverts made. Relationships fostered by supposedly antisocial introverts were far more harmonious than those of the extroverts.
