Synopses & Reviews
The monumental bestseller Quiet has been recast in a new edition that empowers introverted kids and teens
Susan Cain sparked a worldwide conversation when she published Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Cant Stop Talking. With her inspiring book, she permanently changed the way we see introverts and the way introverts see themselves.
The original book focused on the workplace, and Susan realized that a version for and about kids was also badly needed. This book is all about kids' worldschool, extracurriculars, family life, and friendship. Youll read about actual kids who have tackled the challenges of not being extroverted and who have made a mark in their own quiet way. Youll hear Susan Cains own story, and youll be able to make use of the tips at the end of each chapter. Theres even a guide at the end of the book for parents and teachers.
This insightful, accessible, and empowering book, illustrated with amusing comic-style art, will be eye-opening to extroverts and introverts alike.
