To all my friends who asked about a synopsis of the book: I apologize for taking so long to respond! I have to to head out the door right now but I promise to post a response to your questions this evening. Thanks for your patience!

Thanks again for your patience. Here is what it reads on the back of the book itself:

THE BOOK THAT STARTED THE QUIET REVOLUTION

At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts - Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak - that we owe many of the great contributors to society.

In "Quiet," Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth-century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She also introduces us to successful introverts - from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, "Quiet" has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.
