Quiet

the Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
May 01, 2021Rhett_butler rated this title 2.5 out of 5 stars
This book started out pretty good with talking about how introverts are undervalued but then pivoted to a heavy focus on how introverts can serve capitalism and how we are valuable in the work place. This heavy handed focus really didn't leave me feeling any personal fulfillment, it just felt like a book to market introverts as a useful tool to the economy. I appreciate the overall goal of the book but i couldn't finish it and I rarely don't finish a book. It also weirdly used Rosa Parks a lot as an example of a successful introvert, pushing for quiet and peaceful protest as an example for how to behave in the world. It felt a little like how many white people like to praise Martin Luther King and demonize Malcolm X. Very neo liberal and I think it didn't age super well.
