WHY BEING QUIET IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS BEING LOUD by Jesse Salas


In the loud and exciting world of today, one might not feel the ability to fit in, and that is okay.
Quiet by Susan Cain is a nonfiction psychology book about introversion and extroversion in society. Cain is an introvert and has lived a life of one until she broke out of her shell, which is the reason she wrote on this subject.  The book is fueled by her personal experiences and research on the topic. She carries the argument that no matter the temperament one has, it is important to appreciate and accept the weaknesses and strengths of both introverts and extroverts throughout the book. This book is rated a four out of five stars since it was great in that it used research effectively to create more developed and convincing arguments. However, it could have been better, possibly if the author used more emotional appeal to grasp a tighter hold on the readers. I recommend this book to my peers, especially peers who have experienced low self-esteem or depression since Cain does such an outstanding job promoting acceptance and embracement in one’s self.
