Mute by Stephanie Santoyo


“Why are you such a quiet person?” Have you ever come across a situation in which you were asked this? Not just in a causal tone, but more of a concerned, distraught, and do you need “help” manner? Where whomever asked it, meant it in a way where being “quiet” was wrong and should not be practiced? Quiet, by Susan Cain, is an informative piece in which Cain expresses and displays the psychological perception to which why one is quiet or as some may interpret it “introverted.” Reading the publication will not only increase one's knowledge on introversion, but also has been scientifically proven to cause an introvert to feel more comfortable in their personal lives as a quiet human being. The piece also includes the situation of  introvert, Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, who is living proof, the quiet characteristic does not interfere with one's potential in any shape or form and does not harm ones life. Steve Wozniak is only one of the several historical figures mentioned, who as an introvert has created a foundation of success for himself and those around him. This writing definitely deserves its five star rating and should be read by both introverts and extroverts due to Cain addressing and specifying to all information in regards to an introvert. Anyone seeking to increase their knowledge on introversion or for mere curiosity of the quiet characteristics that introverts hold, must definitely get their hands on a copy of Susan Cain’s Quiet.
