In \'Quiet\', Susan Cain shows how the brain chemistry of Introverts and extroverts differs, and how society misunderstands and undervalues introverts.
Introverts feel reproached for being the way they are.
Shyness, sensitivity and seriousness are often seen as being negative.
Yet extroverts have taken over.
Without them we wouldn\'t have the Apple computer, the theory of relativity and Van Gogh\'s sunflowers.
Some of the world\'s most talented people are introverts.
And at least a third of us are on the introverted side.
The introvert/extrovert divide is the most fundamental dimension of personality.
That fact is whether we\'re an introvert or an extrovert.
It defines who our friends and lovers are, which careers we choose, and whether we blush when we\'re embarrassed.
Our lives are driven by a fact That most of us can\'t name and don\'t understand.
