Shhh! Hey, c'mere. I know, I know, I'm whispering, but you have to when you are talking about a book like this. Quiet. It's called Quiet. And it's a book about all the amazing people out there, doing amazing work, but who aren't In-Your-Face people. We forget about these people. We have, as a society, Cain writes, come to believe that everyone who is anyone is an extrovert. Cain speaks up for the quiet people, reminding us of all those who have been and are doing their quiet work, who have and are living their quiet lives, who have and are quietly eating and drinking and shopping and reading books. Being an introvert is not bad, she proclaims. Quietly, of course.
