As an introvert, I was eager to read Quiet: The Power of
Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking. Unfortunately, the book did not
live up to my expectations. If you’re looking for an easy read, this isn’t it.
The content is good, but it’s a deep, heavy read. I am normally a fast reader,
but I could not plow through this book quickly. The book is divided into four parts:
1) the extrovert ideal which focuses on how our society prefers extroverts to
introverts, 2) your biology, your self? which considers if temperament is a
product of nature or nurture, 3) do all cultures have an extrovert ideal? which
looks beyond the American landscape, and 4) how to love, how to work which addresses
interacting with the opposite type and helpful tips for raising quiet kids. All
in all, I found this book to be a decent read but not one I would heartily
recommend to a friend.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah
Publishing Group for this review, but the opinions expressed in this post are
mine.
