'Quiet is a startling, important and readable page-turner that will make quiet people see themselves in a whole new light.' Naomi Wolf, author of The Beauty Myth 'Once in a blue moon, a book comes along that gives us startling new insights. Quiet is that book: part page-turner, part cutting-edge science, it will change the way you see yourself, other people, and the world.' Adam Grant, the Wharton School of Business 'Quiet legitimizes and even celebrates the 'niche' that represents half the people in the world.

You’ll hear Susan Cain’s own story, and you’ll be able to make use of the tips at the end of each chapter. There’s even a guide at the end of the book for parents and teachers.

The Secret Strengths of Introverts

Quiet Power

Loss and impermanence are inescapable, part of the warp and weft of our lives. They are essential to love, to growth, and to art. And yet, too often, we do not acknowledge loss, let alone honour the experience of it. Illuminating, thoughtful, and deeply necessary, Susan Cain's new book will help us to name and value the experience of loss, pointing the way toward ways of being and rituals that help us to accept it rather than bury it. Blending memoir, reportage, and social science, it will reveal that joy and loss exist in equilibrium; that vulnerability, or even a melancholy temperament, can be a strength; and that embracing our inevitable losses makes us more human and more whole.

With her mega-bestseller Quiet, Susan Cain urged our society to cultivate space for the undervalued, indispensable introverts among us, thereby revealing an untapped power hidden in plain sight. Now, she employs the same mix of research, storytelling, and memoir to explore why we experience sorrow and longing, and the surprising lessons these states of mind teach us about creativity, compassion, leadership, spirituality, mortality and love. Bittersweetness is a tendency to states of longing, poignancy, and sorrow; an acute awareness of passing time; and a curiously piercing joy when beholding beauty. It recognizes that light and dark, birth and deathbitter and sweetare forever paired. A song in a minor key, an elegiac poem, or even a touching television commercial all can bring us to this sublime, even holy, state of mindand, ultimately, to greater kinship with our fellow humans. But bittersweetness is not, as we tend to think, just a momentary feeling or event. Its also a way of being, a storied heritage. Our artistic and spiritual traditionsamplified by recent scientific and management researchteach us its power. Cain shows how a bittersweet state of mind is the quiet force that helps us transcend our personal and collective pain. If we dont acknowledge our own sorrows and longings, she says, we can end up inflicting them on others via abuse, domination, or neglect. But if we realize that all humans knowor will knowloss and suffering, we can turn toward each other. And we can learn to transform our own pain into creativity, transcendence, and connection. At a time of profound discord and personal anxiety, Bittersweet brings us together in deep and unexpected ways.[Bokinfo].

At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying; who invent and create but prefer not to pitch their own ideas; who favor working on their own over brainstorming in teams. Although they are often labeled quiet, it is to introverts 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 the indelible stories of real people, Quiet shows how dramatically we undervalue introverts, and how much we lose in doing so. Susan Cain charts the rise of the extrovert ideal over the twentieth century and explores its far-reaching effects--how it helps to determine everything from how parishioners worship to who excels at Harvard Business School. And she draws on cutting-edge research on the biology and psychology of temperament to reveal how introverts can modulate their personalities according to circumstance, how to empower an introverted child, and how companies can harness the natural talents of introverts. This extraordinary book has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves. The north and south of temperament Pt. 1: The extrovert ideal. The rise of the mighty likeable fellow : how extroversion became the cultural ideal The myth of charismatic leadership: the culture of personality, a hundred years later When collaboration kills creativity: the rise of the new Groupthink and the power of working alone Pt. 2: Your biology, your self?

Quiet. Il potere degli introversi in un mondo che non sa smettere di parlare

de kracht van introvert zijn in een wereld die niet ophoudt met kletsen

Stil

Ana Carolina Bento Ribeiro

Com argumentos que buscam ser cativantes, uma extensa pesquisa e repleto de histórias reais, 'O poder dos quietos' mostra como os tímidos e introvertidos são subvalorizados, e como pode-se perder com isso. Partindo da ascensão do Ideal da Extroversão no século XX, Susan Cain questiona os valores dominantes no mundo empresarial moderno, no qual a colaboração forçada pode bloquear o caminho da inovação e no qual o potencial de liderança dos introvertidos é frequentemente negligenciado. A autora apresenta histórias de introvertidos de sucesso e procura oferecer conselhos sobre como os tímidos podem tirar vantagem das suas características.

Die Kraft der Introvertierten

Still

A nyugati civilizációban hosszú évtizedek óta a trend az impulzív, tetterős, merész alkatú embereknek, egyszóval az extrovertáltaknak kedvez, óhatatlanul háttérbe szorítva visszahúzódóbb társaikat. Ez a jelenség természetszerűleg hozza magával az előítéletet: az aktív karakter értékesebb, mint a passzív. Hogy ez mennyire nincs így, azt fejti ki kiváló életvezetési tanácsadó könyvében Susan Cain, rámutatva azokra az értékes, sőt, pótolhatatlan tálentumokra, amelyekkel a csendesebbek bírnak. Az első fejezetben részletesen bemutatja az idealizált extrovertált típust, majd ír a velünk született karakter sorsformáló erejéről, rámutat, hogy vannak olyan kultúrák, ahol az introvertáltságot preferálják, majd praktikus tanácsokat ad azzal kapcsolatban, hogy a kétféle vérmérsékletbe tartozók miként építsenek hidakat egymás felé a kölcsönös megbecsülés jegyében. A minden érdeklődőnek jó szívvel ajánlható kötetet mutató és függelék zárja. "www.kello.hu © minden jog fenntartva"

Au moins un tiers des personnes qui nous entourent sont des introvertis. Ils préfèrent écouter plutôt que parler, lire plutôt que sociabiliser ; ils créent et innovent mais dans la discrétion, plus heureux dans le travail solitaire qu'au coeur des brainstorming. Pourtant, notre société fait davantage confiance aux extravertis. L'homme idéal doit être sociable, avoir le goût du risque. Le discret est presque suspect, son caractère n'est pas adapté à notre monde. Susan Cain montre par de nombreux exemples - Chopin, Darwin, Gandhi, Gates, Wozniac - comment la créativité des introvertis rayonne sur les entreprises, les arts, la politique. L'extraverti n'est pas nécessairement le chef le plus efficace, la crise financière qui a mis face à face les plus beaux parleurs en est le dernier exemple. Il ne faut donc pas sous-estimer les discrets. Susan Cain a ainsi mené une enquête sur les raisons de cette domination. Que nous révèlent les dernières recherches en psychologie et en neuroscience sur les surprenantes différences entre les cerveaux des introvertis et ceux des extravertis ?Comment certains grands introvertis ont-ils réussi à vaincre leur timidité ? Comment adoucir les malentendus entre introvertis et extravertis, au travail comme clans le couple ? Comment soutenir des enfants introvertis et leurs professeurs ? Voici un livre qui change notre regard sur les introvertis et encore plus important le regard qu'ils portent sur eux-mêmes.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Sadness is your superpower. In her new masterpiece, the author of the bestselling phenomenon Quiet explores the power of the bittersweet personality, revealing a misunderstood side of mental health and creativity while offering a roadmap to facing grief in order to live life to the fullest. “Bittersweet grabs you by the heart and doesn’t let go.”—BRENÉ BROWN, author of Atlas of the Heart “Susan Cain has described and validated my existence once again!”—GLENNON DOYLE, author of Untamed “The perfect cure for toxic positivity.”—ADAM GRANT, author of Think Again ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022—Oprah Daily, BookPage Bittersweetness is a tendency to states of long­ing, poignancy, and sorrow; an acute aware­ness of passing time; and a curiously piercing joy at the beauty of the world. It recognizes that light and dark, birth and death—bitter and sweet—are forever paired. If you’ve ever wondered why you like sad music . . . If you find comfort or inspiration in a rainy day . . . If you react intensely to music, art, nature, and beauty . . . Then you probably identify with the bitter­sweet state of mind. With Quiet, Susan Cain urged our society to cultivate space for the undervalued, indispensable introverts among us, thereby revealing an un­tapped power hidden in plain sight. Now she em­ploys the same mix of research, storytelling, and memoir to explore why we experience sorrow and longing, and how embracing the bittersweetness at the heart of life is the true path to creativity, con­nection, and transcendence. Cain shows how a bittersweet state of mind is the quiet force that helps us transcend our personal and collective pain, whether from a death or breakup, addiction or illness. If we don’t acknowledge our own heartache, she says, we can end up inflicting it on others via abuse, domination, or neglect. But if we realize that all humans know—or will know—loss and suffering, we can turn toward one another. At a time of profound discord and personal anxiety, Bittersweet brings us together in deep and unexpected ways.

I vår tid er det ofte det ekstroverte idealet som fremheves. Vi dyrker selvrealisering og selvhevdelse, og det er den som hever stemmen som får oppmerksomhet. Vi vil vise frem våre ambisjoner bragder, og selvfremstilling i sosiale medier blir stadig vanligere. Susan Cain prøvde i mange år å leve som en ekstrovert, men måtte til slutt innse at hun tvert imot var introvert. Hun spør seg om vi har mistet de innadvendte av syne, og glemmer å verdsette de egenskapene de representerer? Cain hevder at noen av de fremste blant oss har vært innadvendte, som Picasso, Darwin, Ghandi og Rosa Parks. "Stille" er utgitt i over 30 land.
