Quiet: The Power of Introverts
Susan Cain · 2012
A third of people are introverts. Cain argues the world is designed for extroverts, and everyone is losing because of it.
The case against
Cain's argument peaks early and then repeats. The introvert-extrovert binary does heavy lifting the psychology will not support; most people sit in the middle, a fact the book waves at and moves past. By the final chapters she has flipped the bias she set out to correct, with introverts recast as the quietly superior ones. A strong essay wearing a book's padding.
