SUSAN CAIN is a consultant to major corporations and law firms on negotiation strategies and personal presentation style. She lives in the Hudson River Valley with her husband and two sons. Visit her website, ThePowerofIntroverts.com.
At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over brainstorming in teams. Although they are often labeled "quiet," it is to introverts that we owe many of the great contributions to society--from van Gogh’s sunflowers to the invention of the personal computer.
Passionately argued, impressively researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet shows how dramatically we undervalue introverts, and how much we lose in doing so. Taking the reader on a journey from Dale Carnegie’s birthplace to Harvard Business School, from a Tony Robbins seminar to an evangelical megachurch, Susan Cain charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal in the twentieth century and explores its far-reaching effects. She talks to Asian-American students who feel alienated from the brash, backslapping atmosphere of American schools. She questions the dominant values of American business culture, where forced collaboration can stand in the way of innovation, and where the leadership potential of introverts is often overlooked. And she draws on cutting-edge research in psychology and neuroscience to reveal the surprising differences between extroverts and introverts.
Perhaps most inspiring, she introduces us to successful introverts--from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Finally, she offers invaluable advice on everything from how to better negotiate differences in introvert-extrovert relationships to how to empower an introverted child to when it makes sense to be a "pretend extrovert."
This extraordinary book has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how introverts see themselves.
这本书并没有让内向的人变得更不焦虑,举得例子也缺乏说服力,但是告诉了内向的人,你就是这样的人,在社交场合表现得如外向人一样,是费力不讨好的事情,接受自己吧。多希望在我的大学时期可以看到这本书,这样对于课堂发言小组讨论这些事情,就不用先纠结半天说什么,然后要...
评分在找工作时,我们简历上描述自己的时候,往往会写上:“性格开朗、善于沟通、组织能力强”等这样的字眼,不管自己是不是这样或者喜不喜欢这样。我们认为现在商业社会的主流是需要这样的人,而不喜欢性格沉默、不善于沟通、组织能力不强的人。有人说:“从个性文化发端起,我们...
评分 评分很难相信这是某年度的最佳非虚构书。读这本书时从头到尾只感觉内向的自己被理解,并且很高兴有人为内向者写一本书,但令人失望的是并没有读到新知识。99%的篇幅描写内向人群的特征、心理、出发点、以及实验证明他们如何不比别人差,社会应该如何避免“偏向”外向者。如果你已经...
评分这本书有多少科学性呢? 就是将自己的经历分享出来,然后总结。果然积极心理学就如传闻般那么坑爹。 知识点密度说实话低得可怜,像喝白开水一样。 而内向有优势,稍微用脑子就可以想得出来。 只能说,这本书除了给那些精神低落的人稍稍提神,没什么作用。
按自己的想法做人。
评分Audiobook下载:百度云网盘。http://site.douban.com/196116/widget/notes/11781049/note/252247479/。再一次让我确认了自己 I am a real introvert。听得我真是觉得有种“老乡见老乡两眼泪汪汪”的感觉。这世上还有人如此深刻了解Introverts 啊!!非常全面非常深入非常有诚意的一本书。很喜欢。http://book.douban.com/review/6148870/
评分有声书,感觉是数字和实验结果堆砌的鸡汤。
评分推薦外向者閱讀,有助於了解內向者,同時這本書也爲內向者「正名」
评分对内向的新定义方法:对外界刺激的反应程度,和Reward-seeking magnitude。更新了传统上“内向即反社交”这一概念,而更多的是内外向的人有不同的社交模式和偏好。开篇指出美国社会对personality和外向的强调是从钢铁革命,和戴尔卡内基对商业模式的鼓吹开始的。可惜更多的是基于美国社会的不足进行探讨,个人认为并不适合亚洲。而更为严重的一点是,这给人心安理得的不去进行社交找到了借口(虽然并非作者本意)。这样的书籍会让读者不自主地将自己归类为内向或者外向,其实绝大部分人应该是处于二者之间。总体来说,诚意十足。我的中文已经退化到一定程度了。
