Quiet: The Power of Introverts... by Susan Cain

• Susan Cain questions society's focus on extroversion and personality.  She looks to societal values historically and examines how the focus shifted from character to personality, and what that means for introverts.
• As an introvert, this book was validating.  Living in a world that values extroversion, and often being told that my preferences are abnormal or inferior, reading this was incredibly validating.
• Cain visits the topic of how modern American schools are designed for the extrovert. She discusses the stress this can put on introverts.
