Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverts by Susan Cain

3.0

I think there is great value in this book for kids, parents, and teachers. Our quiet kids are too often forgotten and misunderstood. The only thing I found lacking in this book is that sometimes quiet kids do suffer from anxiety disorders and I would have liked to see a more open discussion on that. Plus, I think more could have been focused on the every day kid. Many of these students were quite exceptionally talented, and while that is inspiring, it is unlikely that every introvert is capable of being the class president or first teen to sail around the world or a stage actor. I would have liked to see just every day careers that embrace the quiet.
