A startling, important, and readable page-turner -- Naomi Wolf (author of 'The Beauty Myth') on 'Quiet' I can't get Quiet out of my head. It is an important book - so persuasive and timely and heartfelt it should inevitably effect change in schools and offices -- Jon Ronson on 'Quiet' * Guardian * Susan Cain's Quiet has sparked a quiet revolution. In our booming culture, hers is a still, small voice that punches above its weight. Perhaps rather than sitting back and asking people to speak up, managers and company leaders might lean forward and listen -- Megan Walsh on 'Quiet' * The Times * Quiet is a very timely book, and Cain's central thesis is fresh and important. Maybe the extrovert ideal is no longer as powerful as it was; perhaps it is time we all stopped to listen to the still, small voice of calm -- Daisy Goodwin on 'Quiet' * Sunday Times * Marvellous. The most important book published for a decade -- Lynn Truss on 'Quiet' * Sunday Telegraph * Quiet discusses how extroverts in our society are bigged up so much, and if you're anything other than an extrovert you're made to think there's something wrong with you. That's the story of my life. Coming to realize that about myself was very empowering, because I had felt like, 'Oh my god, there must be something wrong with me, because I don't want to go out and do what all my friends want to do' -- Emma Watson on 'Quiet' Children and teenagers of distinctly non-volcanic natures will rejoice to meet their champion in Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverts . (Cain's) narrative voice is kind and understanding as, with anecdotes, social science and practical advice, she extols the qualities of introverts in a culture that prizes noise and flash * Wall Street Journal * For kids who want to roar - on the inside * Booklist * Reading Quiet Power has given me a wake-up call, reminded me of my inner nature. To have some respect for the warning signs. Some of us need time to just be. Quietly' * Red * Whether you are introvert, extrovert or ambivert, there is plenty of food for thought here... this book says if you've got an introverted child, maybe they're quite happy - accept them for who they are' -- Simon Mayo I wish I had had this book when I was 13. It needs to be read by parents as well as teenagers -- Tim Lott A brilliant handbook for quiet children (and their parents)... a celebration of the introvert * Guardian *
