This book helped me to re-evaluate the meaning of being an Introvert during a time where every parents evening sounded like a broken record. The expectation being that unless your child actively speaks in class, contributes or asks banal questions they somehow don’t understand or are regarded as less worthy as their verbose peers. Maybe that makes sense?

However, in this age of constant noise and celebrity, very often it’s the quiet ones that are underestimated and overlooked.

Susan Cain explains and explores the nature of introverts, their skills, powers and their expertise that make diverse learning and working places thrive. So sit up and pay attention to the person who may say the least but does the most. You never know what you might find out.
