“Quiet” by Susan Cain

I highly recommend this book to all of you. It is packed with knowledge and compassion and awareness. And science. Especially science.

If you are yourself an introvert (try a Myers-Briggs test, or this short quiz) then “Quiet” is required reading. You’ll feel like you’ve finally found your chosen people, your promised land. It feels really, really good.

If you aren’t an introvert, your friends might be. Or your children. Or the person you’re sleeping with. The statistics say introverts are about one third to one half of the population. This will save you a lot of grief and confusion (and may well save your quiet children’s lives).

Thanks, Erin, for loaning it to me. I need to buy my own copy now.
