Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking Audiobook

" The book is good to re-affirm the introvert personality traits to those who already know they are one. It helps give an insight of the great thing introverts can do, yet it has a political bias which was a turnoff for me since I am not interested in knowing more than what I am already exposed to without wanting to. "

" One of the very best things I've read in a long time! "

" Insightful. Helped me understand and adapt toward the introverts who are closest to me. "

" A little slow getting started and a bit repetitive at the end, but the meat in the sandwich is great. I particularly liked the examples/case studies about parents and children, couples and bosses and employees learning to work with each others conflicting styles. Challenges some long standing assumptions about how we reward, encourage, coerce extroversion. "

" I listened to this book on my iPod and it was wonderful. I tried to read the book afterward and found it difficult to read. "

" Interesting ideas but Ms. Cain hammered her theme home so frequently that it eventually got boring. She was very self-referential, and I got a bit sick of that. That said, I learned a bit about introverts and, by inference, about extroverts, too. "

" I can't recommend this book enough. I had to keep pausing and putting the book down several times because my brain needed to process this new information before absorbing more of it. I found it a true gem. "

" Fascinating read, implications for learning and teaching, parenting, conducting business, understanding colleagues and friends and even ourselves better. "

" Just what I needed to read...and what many others do too. "

" Good observations overall, but there was too much political bias in the examples which was distracting and took away from the points she was trying to make. "

" loved the historical approach to a culture of too much talk about nothing, of arguing for the sake of arguing without too much thinking "

" It was just OK. I found the subject matter in general to be very subjective and fairly one-sided. Overall, I don't think I would necessarily recommend it. "

" Many times while reading I caught myself thinking: "Yes! Thats me!". It was very inspiring to read about strengths of introverts. But I am learning to be extravert sometimes and compensate my weaknesses and was glad to read that I am on the right way. "

" Parts were insightful, parts were not applicable. For example, extensive discussion about raising introverted kids, but if the reader is an introvert, perhaps a discussion of the whole dating/relationship thing might be helpful before jumping to child rearing. "

" Well-written and well-researched. Now I finally know the physiological reason for my temperament. "

" This book was excellent with informing people about the strengths and weaknesses of both introverts and extroverts. I like how she says shows important introverts are in this extrovert laden/pushed world we now live in. "
