A brilliant handbook for quiet children (and their parents)... a
celebration of the introvert
*Guardian*
I wish I had had this book when I was 13. It needs to be read by
parents as well as teenagers
*Tim Lott*
Whether you are introvert, extrovert or ambivert, there is plenty
of food for thought here... this book says if you've got an
introverted child, maybe they're quite happy - accept them for who
they are'
*Simon Mayo*
Reading Quiet Power has given me a wake-up call, reminded me of my
inner nature. To have some respect for the warning signs. Some of
us need time to just be. Quietly'
*Red*
Children and teenagers of distinctly non-volcanic natures will
rejoice to meet their champion in "Quiet Power: The Secret
Strengths of Introverts". (Cain's) narrative voice is kind and
understanding as, with anecdotes, social science and practical
advice, she extols the qualities of introverts in a culture that
prizes noise and flash
*Wall Street Journal*
Highly accessible ... gives a voice to a group of people who are
often made to feel unappreciated. Many will find value in this
title that emphasizes that being an introvert is not a blemish on
one's personality but a benefit
*School Library Journal*
For kids who want to roar - on the inside
*Booklist*
Quiet discusses how extroverts in our society are bigged up so
much, and if you're anything other than an extrovert you're made to
think there's something wrong with you. That's the story of my
life. Coming to realize that about myself was very empowering,
because I had felt like, 'Oh my god, there must be something wrong
with me, because I don't want to go out and do what all my friends
want to do'
*Emma Watson on 'Quiet'*
Marvellous. The most important book published for a decade
*Sunday Telegraph*
Quiet is a very timely book, and Cain's central thesis is fresh and
important. Maybe the extrovert ideal is no longer as powerful as it
was; perhaps it is time we all stopped to listen to the still,
small voice of calm
*Sunday Times*
Susan Cain's Quiet has sparked a quiet revolution. In our booming
culture, hers is a still, small voice that punches above its
weight. Perhaps rather than sitting back and asking people to speak
up, managers and company leaders might lean forward and listen
*The Times*
I can't get Quiet out of my head. It is an important book - so
persuasive and timely and heartfelt it should inevitably effect
change in schools and offices
*Guardian*
A startling, important, and readable page-turner
*Naomi Wolf (author of 'The Beauty Myth') on 'Quiet'*
