Marvellous. The most important book published for a decade -- Lynne
Truss * Sunday Telegraph *
Quiet is a very timely book, and Cain's central thesis is
fresh and important. Maybe the extrovert ideal is no longer as
powerful as it was; perhaps it is time we all stopped to listen to
the still, small voice of calm -- Daisy Goodwin * The Sunday Times
*
Susan Cain's Quiet has sparked a quiet revolution. In our
booming culture, hers is a still, small voice that punches above
its weight. Perhaps rather than sitting back and asking people to
speak up, managers and company leaders might lean forward and
listen -- Megan Walsh * The Times *
I can't get Quiet out of my head. It is an important book -
so persuasive and timely and heartfelt it should inevitably effect
change in schools and offices -- Jon Ronson * The Guardian *
A startling, important, and readable page-turner * Naomi Wolf,
author of The Beauty Myth *
