The Silent, Fighting For a Place in This Loud World, But Still Outspoken by Many by Sarah Supangan Unger

We live in a world that is heavily dominated by loud people and the quiet ones are often pushed away to the side, regarded as shy, boring and insensitive. The silent and timid people of the world are outspoken by the louder ones and are therefore fated to stereotyping by those that think this world should be full of loud people, not shy or intellectually thoughtful about anything.

 

Quiet by Susan Cain is a book about introverts (the quiet ones) in an extrovert (the louder ones) world in which no one notices the introverts because they are indeed quiet so people think that they are not fit for our world and must become loud like the rest. The book is very interesting because as a reader, I learned so much more about introverts and their way of thinking that many do not fully understand. The author analyzes everything about introverts, going in depth about their characteristics and their incredible importance in our world surrounded by outgoing people. The book deserves an enormous thumbs up because the author understands introverts, as she classifies herself as one, and by reading the book the reader can understand introverts and their existence with extroverts. The evidence is substantial in proving her points which is also what makes the book very well written. I would recommend the book to an audience interested in psychology and the characteristics of these two types of people because the book is full of thought and the way the minds of these people think.
