Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking - Susan Cain

in #books6 years ago (edited)

"The secret to life is to put yourself in the right lighting. For some it's a Broadway spotlight; for other, a lamplight desk. Use your natural powers-- of persistence, concentration, insight, and sensitivity-- to do the work you love and work that matters. Solve problems, make art, think deeply"

We live in a society where introverts are often undervalued, some introverts have to pretend to be extroverts or pseudo-extroverts.
In a world who can't stop talking, we prefer to fade into the background-- listening, observing, with so much things going on inside our brain.
The impression that introverts are asocial is utter nonsense; introverts enjoy being around people, just in a lower intensity -- we prefer 'sincere and meaningful' conversations over wild parties.
