Book review: Quiet




Quiet
Susan Cain
Published: January 12, 2012

So this was probably one of the most difficult books I have read since leaving college. It's not that I didn't enjoy the book, I did. I think it was just I was finding  that I was getting more and more frustrated with myself because I had set a time limit for when I thought I would be finished with this book. 

It was quite the interesting read about introversion and how to live within a society that appears to only encourage outgoing personalities. I think another reason that this was such a difficult read for me was he fact I could put myself into a lot of the examples that she had used. 

I think later in the year I might pick this book up again just to try and focus on it a bit more. 

Would I recommend this book to a friend... Most definitely, in fact I already asked the bf if he would like to read it (he's very extroverted and I am clearly not). Do I think any of my friends will read it if I recommend it... Probably not. But I will be bringing it with me to Disney world to see if my Dad might find it interesting.
