Notre société valorise de plus en plus les caractères extravertis : pour réussir, il est bon d'être sociable, charismatique et de savoir travailler en équipe. A l'inverse, le discret, qu'il soit collègue de bureau, chef d'entreprise ou dirigeant politique, est souvent moins apprécié et ne semble pas adapté aux défis actuels. C'est à cette discrimination, dont elle fut elle-même victime, que s'attaque ici Susan Cain. Son propos, qui s'appuie sur des études menées dans différentes disciplines et des exemples célèbres (Chopin, Darwin, Gandhi, Gates, Wozniac), démontre les qualités - aussi précieuses que méconnues -, des introvertis : force de concentration, capacité d'analyse, sens de l'écoute, créativité, etc. Fort de son expérience et de ses consultations en entreprises, l'auteur offre également des outils (conseils, techniques) efficaces pour aider adultes et enfants, à mettre à profit leur personnalité. Un best-seller international, resté près de 2 ans sur la liste des meilleures ventes américaines.

The monumental bestseller Quiet has been recast in a new edition that empowers introverted kids and teens Susan Cain sparked a worldwide conversation when she published Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking. With her inspiring book, she permanently changed the way we see introverts and the way introverts see themselves. The original book focused on the workplace, and Susan realized that a version for and about kids was also badly needed. This book is all about kids' world—school, extracurriculars, family life, and friendship. You’ll read about actual kids who have tackled the challenges of not being extroverted and who have made a mark in their own quiet way. You’ll hear Susan Cain’s own story, and you’ll be able to make use of the tips at the end of each chapter. There’s even a guide at the end of the book for parents and teachers. This insightful, accessible, and empowering book, illustrated with amusing comic-style art, will be eye-opening to extroverts and introverts alike.
