‘Quiet is a startling, important and readable page-turner that will make
quiet people see themselves in a whole new light.’
Naomi Wolf, author of The Beauty Myth
‘Once in a blue moon, a book comes along that gives us startling new
insights. Quiet is that book: part page-turner, part cutting-edge science, it
will change the way you see yourself, other people, and the world.’
Adam Grant, the Wharton School of Business
‘Quiet legitimizes and even celebrates the 'niche’ that represents half
the people in the world. Think Malcolm Gladwell for people who don't take
themselves too seriously. Mark my words, this book will be a bestseller.'
Guy Kawasaki, author of Enchantment
‘Happiness is… Quiet, an extraordinary book that will change forever the
way society views introverts. Superbly researched and deeply insightful, Quiet
is an indispensable resource for anyone who wants to understand the gifts of the
introverted half of the population.’
Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project
‘An intriguing and potentially life-altering examination of the human
psyche that is sure to benefit both introverts and extroverts alike.’

A very readable book that I especially think all educators should read.
I had it recommended to me after we were told that one of our kids would never be on the school council because he was too quiet. It really annoyed me to see an intelligent, thoughtful, passionate boy being written off like that just because he is a natural introvert. Part way though this book I found a description of our son that was so accurate it was like the author had met him.
The book debunks a lot of the ‘extroverts make better leaders’ myths, provides some of the current thinking on why introverts are the way they are, why extroversion has become so overwhelmingly valued in schools and in business, and has a whole lot of other relevant and interesting stuff. Makes a great case for neural diversity being a good thing in this world.
