Review of 'Quiet' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A relatable guide on the different strengths of introverts and extroverts. This is a comforting read and helps destigmatize and utilize introverts to their full potential.

While the focus is more on the quiet side, introverts and extroverts are both celebrated throughout. So many different personalities and characteristics are covered, so that you can learn to be more effective with whatever type of person you are. The book is full of relatable moments that will explain a lot about you, your personal preferences, and of those close to you.

I didn’t expect the chapters on raising introverted children or the differences between Eastern and Western culture, but they were great. I was also surprised at how many different events the author went to in order to see introverts and extroverts in their ideal environments. Negotiating, stimulation, study, group work, and small talk were some other good topics covered.
