quiet: by J

IMG_5939Introversion-extraversion seems to be the latest hot topic.

I finally picked up Susan Cain’s Quiet and found it very interesting. A self declared introvert, I found the explanation of the neuroscience aspects to be the most intriguing. Although, it makes a great read for both introverts and extroverts wanting to understand better themselves and the introverts in their life.

Overall the book looks at the different social needs of introverts and extroverts, examines strategies for introverts to utilize their natural traits, and even offers solutions for partnering with and raising introverts.

I didn’t love every aspect of the book, at times finding it a bit over the top as far as praising introversion, however, I certainly found it interesting and insightful.
