The book Quiet Power by Susan Cain is a book all about introverts. In this book the author tells many interesting things about introverts that you might not usually notice. It explains why introverts act in certain ways and how to overcome being so shy and quiet if you also tend to deal with those problems. Throughout the book, the author uses real-life experiences from many different people and explains many situations introverts might be struggling with, and how to handle them. Here, you can also listen to Susan Cain’s TED talk about introverts.

First and most important central idea: Although introverts may be shy and quiet, they also have many unique but hidden superpowers. Throughout the book, the biggest idea is about proving how introverts are also very unique and powerful. The author uses many examples and datas to support this big idea and this particular central idea shows up many times.

As I read the book, I realized another central idea is that two or three close friends mean more than a hundred acquaintances. The author kept mentioning some situations between friendships and mainly how close friends were much more important than being popular and/or having a bunch of acquaintances, so that is another important idea to have in mind.

After reading this book my thoughts changed towards introverts since I used to think that introverts were just quiet and not concentrated, but this book explained and proved that they are actually listening and focused, so I recommend this book because after reading it, you would understand introverts more and have a smaller chance of misunderstanding them or looking down on them.
