Book Review: Quiet by Susan Cain

I received this book free of charge from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review.


This book was on the topic of introversion. When I received the book I did not expect it to be as big as it was however I was greatly impressed with how well this topic was researched throughout. I wondered how a book on introversion could be so long, how could it possibly be a good read?

However, this book greatly surprised me. I was very intrigued. It held my interest and I learned a lot from it. I am what you would classify an introvert so I could relate to much of the information. It also helped me have a bit more freedom with the way God created me in this extroverted world.

The book explored the whys and how the American culture became a more extroverted place. How it helps and hurts those that are introverted. Then research on why introverted people in society are just as important seeing how they should make up just about half of the population.

I found it even more interesting when other cultures were addressed. They typically do not have the same ideal of extroversion and its importance like our culture does. Over all this was a good and interesting read on the topic of introversion.

Though there was a little discussion here and there that included Christian thought I would not really consider this a "Christian" book. Perhaps it is a book written by a Christian author so some of those thoughts flowed but over all it should not be classified as a "Christian" book.

If you would like to purchase a copy of this book from Amazon you can go here.
