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.

这本书有多少科学性呢? 就是将自己的经历分享出来,然后总结。果然积极心理学就如传闻般那么坑爹。 知识点密度说实话低得可怜,像喝白开水一样。 而内向有优势,稍微用脑子就可以想得出来。 只能说,这本书除了给那些精神低落的人稍稍提神,没什么作用。
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...
评分心理学家荣格将人的性格分为内向者和外向者,在他看来,内向者更关注内心世界,而外向者倾向关注人们的外部活动;内向者的注意力往往集中在事物的意义上,而外向者则会投身与事件当中;内向者需要独处来获得放松,而外向者在社会交往中就能吸取能量。图书:内向性格的竞争力 ...
评分在地铁上断断续续看了快一个月,才在四月中将此书读完。书写得很好,差不多50页的注释,可见所下的功夫。其思路跟Malcolm Gladwell的书一样:整合学术界里(她针对的是心理学与认知科学)关于某一课题的发现,然后结合生活中的事例讲述出来。文笔也很好,清晰流畅,但幽默感少...

Part sociology part psychology part self-help. It makes me more comfortable with who I am, but it's still a world full of extrovert ideals, particularly in the west. I think Asian people in the west will strongly identify with the chapter about cultural differences w.r.t. introversion.
评分Far too many introverts feel the pressure to put on a mask to be extroverts, to fit in, introverts should simply be accepted.
评分干了这碗鸡汤!(然而越读越紧张)有声书版也很棒。喜欢看案例的人也没觉得case太多。作为学术鸡汤,让你不停地对自己的童年唏嘘不已……哎
评分推薦外向者閱讀,有助於了解內向者,同時這本書也爲內向者「正名」
评分看了TedTalk之后去看了这本书,远低于期望---原来只是一本励志读物。全书最大的问题就是分析太二元化,充满刻板印象。尤其是讲亚洲人和华裔美国人群体时,完全缺少多这个群体的了解,以一两个个案作为例子,继续刻板地把亚洲人和亚洲文化描绘成内向、勤奋、刻苦。虽然作者一再强调内向和外向是一个光谱,不是非黑即白,但分析上则与这个初衷背道而驰。唯一可取之处大约就是帮一部分内向的人在主流文化里发出了声音。
