图书描述

At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over brainstorming in teams. Although they are often labeled "quiet," it is to introverts that we owe many of the great contributions to society--from van Gogh’s sunflowers to the invention of the personal computer.

Passionately argued, impressively researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet shows how dramatically we undervalue introverts, and how much we lose in doing so. Taking the reader on a journey from Dale Carnegie’s birthplace to Harvard Business School, from a Tony Robbins seminar to an evangelical megachurch, Susan Cain charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal in the twentieth century and explores its far-reaching effects. She talks to Asian-American students who feel alienated from the brash, backslapping atmosphere of American schools. She questions the dominant values of American business culture, where forced collaboration can stand in the way of innovation, and where the leadership potential of introverts is often overlooked. And she draws on cutting-edge research in psychology and neuroscience to reveal the surprising differences between extroverts and introverts.

Perhaps most inspiring, she introduces us to successful introverts--from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Finally, she offers invaluable advice on everything from how to better negotiate differences in introvert-extrovert relationships to how to empower an introverted child to when it makes sense to be a "pretend extrovert."

This extraordinary book has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how introverts see themselves.

Q: Why did you write the book?

A: For the same reason that Betty Friedan published The Feminine Mystique in 1963. Introverts are to extroverts what women were to men at that time--second-class citizens with gigantic amounts of untapped talent. Our schools, workplaces, and religious institutions are designed for extroverts, and many introverts believe that there is something wrong with them and that they should try to “pass” as extroverts. The bias against introversion leads to a colossal waste of talent, energy, and, ultimately, happiness.

Q: What personal significance does the subject have for you?

A: When I was in my twenties, I started practicing corporate law on Wall Street. At first I thought I was taking on an enormous challenge, because in my mind, the successful lawyer was comfortable in the spotlight, whereas I was introverted and occasionally shy. But I soon realized that my nature had a lot of advantages: I was good at building loyal alliances, one-on-one, behind the scenes; I could close my door, concentrate, and get the work done well; and like many introverts, I tended to ask a lot of questions and listen intently to the answers, which is an invaluable tool in negotiation. I started to realize that there’s a lot more going on here than the cultural stereotype of the introvert-as-unfortunate would have you believe. I had to know more, so I spent the past five years researching the powers of introversion.

Q: Was there ever a time when American society valued introverts more highly?

A: In the nation’s earlier years it was easier for introverts to earn respect. America once embodied what the cultural historian Warren Susman called a “Culture of Character,” which valued inner strength, integrity, and the good deeds you performed when no one was looking. You could cut an impressive figure by being quiet, reserved, and dignified. Abraham Lincoln was revered as a man who did not “offend by superiority,” as Emerson put it.

Q: You discuss how we can better embrace introverts in the workplace. Can you explain?

A: Introverts thrive in environments that are not overstimulating—surroundings in which they can think (deeply) before they speak. This has many implications. Here are two to consider: (1) Introverts perform best in quiet, private workspaces—but unfortunately we’re trending in precisely the opposite direction, toward open-plan offices. (2) If you want to get the best of all your employees’ brains, don’t simply throw them into a meeting and assume you’re hearing everyone’s ideas. You’re not; you’re hearing from the most vocally assertive people. Ask people to put their ideas in writing before the meeting, and make sure you give everyone time to speak.

Q: Quiet offers some terrific insights for the parents of introverted children. What environment do introverted kids need in order to thrive, whether it’s at home or at school?

A: The best thing parents and teachers can do for introverted kids is to treasure them for who they are, and encourage their passions. This means: (1) Giving them the space they need. If they need to recharge alone in their room after school instead of plunging into extracurricular activities, that’s okay. (2) Letting them master new skills at their own pace. If they’re not learning to swim in group settings, for example, teach them privately. (3) Not calling them “shy”--they’ll believe the label and experience their nervousness as a fixed trait rather than an emotion they can learn to control.

Q: What are the advantages to being an introvert?

A: There are too many to list in this short space, but here are two seemingly contradictory qualities that benefit introverts: introverts like to be alone--and introverts enjoy being cooperative. Studies suggest that many of the most creative people are introverts, and this is partly because of their capacity for quiet. Introverts are careful, reflective thinkers who can tolerate the solitude that idea-generation requires. On the other hand, implementing good ideas requires cooperation, and introverts are more likely to prefer cooperative environments, while extroverts favor competitive ones.

Self-esteem比较低的人不要读,读则崩溃。

评分

在伦敦的最后几周陆陆续续地读完了这本书。比起外向(而聒噪)的美国人来,中国人基本都是内向的,那么读读这本书能帮助你了解并正视自己。当然,书中简单的二元论能帮助作者更好地立论,却不见得是看待世界的最佳角度。

评分

A lot of good ideas on what makes up a personality, and how it can change from one situation to another

评分

So what's important really is that our egos and self-esteem builds when we know ourselves better and we become more comfortable with who we are, whatsoever. We do need such books that make us introverts at ease when the rest of the world advocates extroverted qualities.

被最后一章打动,满满的都是爱

读后感

评分

在找工作时,我们简历上描述自己的时候,往往会写上:“性格开朗、善于沟通、组织能力强”等这样的字眼,不管自己是不是这样或者喜不喜欢这样。我们认为现在商业社会的主流是需要这样的人,而不喜欢性格沉默、不善于沟通、组织能力不强的人。有人说:“从个性文化发端起,我们...

朋友们绝不认为我是个内向者,或许因为我笑点低,说话很大声,有点凶巴巴,对人很强势。 于是我也自认为我是外向者。 似乎潜意识里,都认为内向就是个贬义词,意味着胆小,怯懦,不善交际。显然我离以上还是有一段距离的。 但是渐渐地,看过的书,认识的人,经历过事情的越来越...

上级推荐我读这本书。我一看书名——《安静-内向性格的竞争力》,警惕与羞愧立马竖起。 为何不认同别人说我“内向”?我在书中找到了答案。 内向性格在长期以来的社会观念中是“低劣”的,相对于总能大声发出自己声音的外向性格,它更是没有竞争力的。但实际上喜欢安静独处...  

评分

”外向的人更倾向从外部世界寻找力量,而内向的人更倾向关注自己的内部世界“。 初看此书,我开始迷茫于自己到底属于外向还是内向。小时的记忆里,我始终是争强好胜并喜欢做焦点中心的人,不仅仅是需要学习很好被认可,而是喜欢自己有才华,尤其是艺术类,或者被大家喜欢,始终...  

评分

如作者所言,美国社会中,内向者约占1/3-1/2的比例。考虑到美国是一个移民社会,移民崇尚冒险,而冒险/谨慎与外向/内向有正相关性。那么在非移民社会,内向者的比例应该会更高才对。 以中国而论,数千年结构稳定的农耕社会显然不需要那么多的外向者,安分守己的内向者才是这个...
