“Quiet Power”— a book for introverts

The book “quiet power” is written by Susan Cain and categorized under literary non-fiction. This book mainly talked about how different people could have very different personalities—introverted or extroverted­­—and ways introverts would strive and, finally, meet the expectation that came from both the school and the society. The theme in this book is introverts, though being mostly quiet and wishes for solitude, could do just as well as extroverts both in school and socially. For instance, Introverts are proved to be splendid thinkers with the ability to concentrate and think quietly. (155). This theme further develops when the author states about how an introverted personality could be beneficial not only in school but also socially (79).

I recommend you reading this book, whether you are extroverted or introverted, because 1) it did a great job at explaining these terms not only by word but also by examples. 2) the suggestions inside for introverts are really worth a look; this isn’t only inspiring for introverts but also extroverts.

One thing that I learned from this unit is that you really should reread some time; not only the parts that you didn’t understand, but parts that is important to a theme or central idea of the book.
