Quiet

The power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking




A ground-breaking book that will do for personality what Emotional Intelligence did for intellect

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Susan Cain's ground-breaking book Quiet, brilliantly read by Kathe Mazur.

In Quiet, the international bestseller, Susan Cain shows how the brain chemistry of introverts and extroverts differs, and how society misunderstands and undervalues introverts. She gives introverts the tools to better understand themselves and take full advantage of their strengths.

Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with real stories, Quiet will permanently change how we see introverts - and how you see yourself.

Praise for Quiet

Marvellous. The most important book published for a decade

Lynne Truss, Sunday Telegraph

Quiet is a very timely book, and Cain's central thesis is fresh and important. Maybe the extrovert ideal is no longer as powerful as it was; perhaps it is time we all stopped to listen to the still, small voice of calm

Daisy Goodwin, The Sunday Times

Susan Cain's Quiet has sparked a quiet revolution. In our booming culture, hers is a still, small voice that punches above its weight. Perhaps rather than sitting back and asking people to speak up, managers and company leaders might lean forward and listen

Megan Walsh, The Times

I can't get Quiet out of my head. It is an important book - so persuasive and timely and heartfelt it should inevitably effect change in schools and offices

Jon Ronson, The Guardian

A startling, important, and readable page-turner

Naomi Wolf, author of The Beauty Myth
