This defines who our friends and lovers are, which careers we choose, and whether we blush when we're embarrassed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt least a third of us are on the introverted side. Some of the world's most talented people are introverts. Without them, we wouldn't have the Apple computer, the theory of relativity and Van Gogh's sunflowers.\u003cbr\u003eYet extroverts have taken over. Shyness, sensitivity and seriousness are often seen as being negative. Introverts feel reproached for being the way they are.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Quiet, Susan Cain shows how the brain chemistry of introverts and extroverts differs, and how society misunderstands and undervalues introverts. She gives introverts the tools to better understand themselves and take full advantage of their strengths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'\u003cb\u003eI can't get \u003ci\u003eQuiet\u003c\/i\u003e out of my head.
