Thanks to a few friends who’ve read the book, I picked up and finished the audio version of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking. It is sooo good.
I am definitely an introvert, and this book validated a lot about my life and work. A lot. The audio book is nine CDs – close to 11 hours of content. The chapters are full of rich stories and interesting studies about introverts and extroverts. Some of my favorite concepts covered include the case study on Harvard Business School, discussions about “the road to Abilene” (a fav paradox), “the winner’s curse,” the Roosevelt’s – an introvert/extrovert couple, psuedo-extroversion (which I completely relate to), and debate about open floor plans in the work environment.
I definitely recommend this book for both introverts and extroverts. Have you read it? What did you think?
