Susan Cain Quotes

The next time you see a person with a composed face and a soft voice, remember that inside her mind she might be solving an equation, composing a sonnet, designing a hat. She might, that is, be deploying the power of quiet Picture Quote #1

College students who tend to study alone learn more over time than those who work in groups Picture Quote #1

Extroversion is an enormously appealing personality style, but we’ve turned it into an oppressive standard to which most of us feel we must conform Picture Quote #1

We’ve known about the transcendent power of solitude for centuries; it’s only recently that we’ve forgotten it Picture Quote #1

Love is essential; gregariousness is optional. Cherish your nearest and dearest. Work with colleagues you like and respect. Scan new acquaintances for those who might fall into the former categories or whose company you enjoy for its own sake. And don’t worry about socializing with everyone else. Relationships make everyone happier, introverts included, but think quality over quantity Picture Quote #1

Opposites attract, and I think temperament is so fundamental that you end up craving someone of the opposite temperament to complete you Picture Quote #1

Shyness is inherently uncomfortable; introversion is not. The traits do overlap, though psychologists debate to what degree Picture Quote #1

I’m continually amazed by how many people who appear to be extroverts are actually introverts Picture Quote #1

A widely held, but rarely articulated, belief in our society is that the ideal self is bold, alpha, gregarious. Introversion is viewed somewhere between disappointment and pathology Picture Quote #1

All personality traits have their good side and their bad side. But for a long time, we’ve seen introversion only through its negative side and extroversion mostly through its positive side Picture Quote #1

In most job interviews, people say they are looking for people skills and emotional intelligence. That’s reasonable, but the question is, how do you define what that looks like? Picture Quote #1

I get a lot of letters from introverts asking how they can meet people. The key is to make sure that you are doing things you enjoy Picture Quote #1

I worry that there are people who are put in positions of authority because they’re good talkers, but they don’t have good ideas. It’s so easy to confuse schmoozing ability with talent. Someone seems like a good presenter, easy to get along with, and those traits are rewarded. Well, why is that? They’re valuable traits, but we put too much of a premium on presenting and not enough on substance and critical thinking Picture Quote #1

We know from myths and fairy tales that there are many different kinds of powers in this world. One child is given a light saber, another a wizard’s education. The trick is not to amass all the different kinds of power, but to use well the kind you’ve been granted Picture Quote #1

Introverts need to trust their gut and share their ideas as powerfully as they can. This does not mean aping extroverts; ideas can be shared quietly, they can be communicated in writing, they can be packaged into highly produced lectures, they can be advanced by allies. The trick for introverts is to honor their own styles instead of allowing themselves to be swept up by prevailing norms Picture Quote #1

Jealousy is an ugly emotion, but it tells the truth. You mostly envy those who have what you desire Picture Quote #1

Figure out what you are meant to contribute to the world and make sure you contribute it. If this requires public speaking or networking or other activities that make you uncomfortable, do them anyway. But accept that they’re difficult, get the training you need to make them easier, and reward yourself when you’re done Picture Quote #1

Psychologists usually offer three explanations for the failure of group brainstorming. The first is social loafing: in a group, some individuals tend to sit back and let others do the work. The second is production blocking: only one person can talk or produce an idea at once, while the other group members are forced to sit passively. And the third is evaluation apprehension, meaning the fear of looking stupid in front of one’s peers Picture Quote #1

The same person who would never raise his hand in a lecture hall of two hundred people might blog to two thousand, or two million, without thinking twice. The same person who finds it difficult to introduce himself to strangers might establish a presence online and then extend these relationships into the real world Picture Quote #1

As a parent, if give yourself what you need, your children will watch you doing that and will give themselves what they need Picture Quote #1

Any time people come together in a meeting, we’re not necessarily getting the best ideas; we’re just getting the ideas of the best talkers Picture Quote #1

You’re told that you’re in your head too much, a phrase that’s often deployed against the quiet and cerebral. Or maybe there’s another word for such people: thinkers Picture Quote #1

Studies have shown that performance gets worse as group size increases... If you have talented and motivated people, they should be encouraged to work alone when creativity or efficiency is the highest priority Picture Quote #1

Introverts.. may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas Picture Quote #1

We put too much of a premium on presenting and not enough on substance and critical thinking Picture Quote #1
