"Introverts living under the Extroversion Ideal are like women in a man's world, discounted because of a trait that goes to the core of who they are. 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"
Susan Cain is an American writer and lecturer known for work on introversion, personality, and workplace culture. She is the author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Cannot Stop Talking.
