Quiet

A very nicely written book, especially for someone like me who has desperately tried to act like an extrovert the majority of my life. There are some good hints in here for maximizing potential that explained things I did already but explained why I did them. For example, why after socializing for a weekend I feel like I've been hit by a bus. Socializing with people literally sucks the energy right out of me. Some parts did get slightly preachy, and she does speak about introversion and extroversion dynamics as if those are the only two qualities that can harm a relationship, but overall it was a good read. I highly recommend it for anyone who has ever had to defend their right to be alone to their friends.
