Quiet

The book review in this morning's WSJ resulted in another volume in the growing want list: Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking.

Yes, we live in a world where brassy men and women who can work a room and run a meeting and look good on television seem to dominate. But, writes Ms. Cain, there is still room for introverts. In fact, she argues, there should be more room, because introverts are great. They think more, they are less reckless and they focus on what really matters—relationships and meaningful work—rather than on the glittering but empty prizes of financial reward and job title. Introverts are Rosa Parks and Gandhi. Extroverts are economy-busting Wall Street CEOs. . . . .
