“I think I’ve been living this book my whole life,” says Susan Cain of her instant
New York Times bestseller
Quiet: The Power of Introverts in A World That Can’t Stop Talking. Cain, a graduate of Princeton and Harvard Law School, struggled with the challenges of being soft-spoken in a society that seemed to reward her bolder and more outgoing peers. Determined to understand the benefits of introversion, she spent seven years writing
Quiet and did a TED talk on the power of introversion, which currently has over 12 million views.
Quiet has sold over two million copies worldwide and has spent four years (and counting!) on the
New York Times bestseller list.
Susan’s young adult book
Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverts will be published in May 2016. She has been named one of the the world’s Top 50 Leadership Experts by Inc. magazine and has been profiled by publications that include the
New York Times, the
Wall Street Journal and
Fortune magazine. She is the cofounder of
Quiet Revolution and the Quiet Leadership Institute, which both work to empower introverts and strengthen organizations around the world.
