Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking -- Take 2

As I said, I had been meaning to read Quiet for a very long time.  When it first came out, I took one look at the title and thought, "yep, that's me!"  But, maybe because it seemed like I probably had internalized most of the messages of the book already, on my own, I just didn't make it a priority to read it.

I'm glad that I finally got around to it.  Though I think my instinct was correct that there was nothing truly shocking in this book to me (a lifelong introvert), she did rather concisely summarize several concepts that had been much more amorphously dancing around in my head.  And she had research and data to provide support her assertions.  You, too, can probably guess the general points; regardless, its contents will help you either understand yourself or others better, so give it a go!

I marked several passages that seemed like they might be useful reminders either for me or someone I know.  And it truth, this book probably has as many annotations now as any book I've read in recent years.

In the end, a thoroughly worthwhile exercise, and a fairly quick and entertaining read, to boot. 

And it marks the second of my 2026 Reading Challenge books ticked off the list!  I'm killing it this year (so far)!
