Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking ペーパーバック – 2013/1/3
購入オプションとあわせ買い
Quiet, the Sunday Times and New York Times Bestseller by Susan Cain, will permanently change how we see introverts - and how you see yourself.
Our lives are driven by a fact most of us can't name and don't understand: whether we're an introvert or an extrovert. This defines who our friends and lovers are, which careers we choose, and whether we blush when we're embarrassed.
At least a third of us are on the introverted side. Some of the world's most talented people are introverts. Without them, we wouldn't have the Apple computer, the theory of relativity and Van Gogh's sunflowers.
Yet extroverts have taken over. Shyness, sensitivity and seriousness are often seen as being negative. Introverts feel reproached for being the way they are.
In Quiet, Susan Cain shows how the brain chemistry of introverts and extroverts differs, and how society misunderstands and undervalues introverts. She gives introverts the tools to better understand themselves and take full advantage of their strengths.
'I can't get Quiet out of my head. It is an important book - so persuasive and timely and heartfelt it should inevitably effect change in schools and offices' Jon Ronson, The Guardian
'Susan Cain's Quiet has sparked a quiet revolution...perhaps rather than sitting back and asking people to speak up, managers and company leaders might lean forward and listen' Megan Walsh, The Times
'Quiet is a very timely book...maybe the extrovert ideal is no longer as powerful as it was; perhaps it is time we all stopped to listen to the still, small voice of calm' Daisy Goodwin, The Sunday Times

Quiet is a very timely book, and Cain's central thesis is fresh and important. Maybe the extrovert ideal is no longer as powerful as it was; perhaps it is time we all stopped to listen to the still, small voice of calm -- Daisy Goodwin ― The Sunday Times
Susan Cain's Quiet has sparked a quiet revolution. In our booming culture, hers is a still, small voice that punches above its weight. Perhaps rather than sitting back and asking people to speak up, managers and company leaders might lean forward and listen -- Megan Walsh ― The Times
I can't get Quiet out of my head. It is an important book - so persuasive and timely and heartfelt it should inevitably effect change in schools and offices -- Jon Ronson ― The Guardian
A startling, important, and readable page-turner ― Naomi Wolf, author of The Beauty Myth

I found myself an introvert. Reading the book, my view of pursuing happiness in life has changed so drastically that I have started thinking changing professional and private life style. I will be more vulnerable to others to show true-myself, because it will give me happier time to me and them, taking full advantage of my gift and competence. I will guide my bookist daughter to find her the happiest way of living in schools and society.
"Extrovert Ideal" world is coming to end by this century. This is just a temporary trend, emerging just a century ago. The author taught me how to go through it and contribute to the forthcoming society together with the next generation.
経験則的に知っていたことが、整然と述べられているので、改めてなっとくさせられます。
「内気」というより「口下手」な(アメリカでは悪くすると『病気』と診断されかねない)人々、印象重視のパフォーマンスやいかにもアメリカ的な『盛り上げる』表現を苦手とする人に向けての、援護射撃のような本です。
著者自身がハーバード・ロースクール出身の才媛であるため、賛辞のコメントにもあるように beautifully written な英文ですが、その分難易度は高いように思われました。
要するに、派手でカッコよく目立って有能、ではないけれど、地味で出遅れ気味で独りが好き(パーティは大の苦手)でも有能、というモデルを推奨(追加)する本です。
他の英語圏(UK、カナダ)のアマゾン書評にあるように「アメリカのことしか書いていない」「この内容にこの長さはいらないのでは」という印象は、確かに拭えない感はありますが、「内向的な人々」を擁護しようという著者の情熱には、かなり心動かされるものがあります。
おそらく、アメリカにおける外向性への賛辞は、他国のそれを遥かに上回るものがあるのでしょう。
一般向けの心理学やビジネス指南書によくあるようにいろいろな人物を例に引いて、わかりやすくintroverts の格闘ぶりを伝えたり、『理想の人物』像の歴史的変容や、ユングやエリクソン等、心理学者の論の引用など、実に多彩な描写ぶりで、最終的に目指しているのは、introverts にとって障害となりそうな(アメリカの)社会的心理的抑圧の排除なのだろうという印象を持ちました。
日本にも一部似たようなところがある、という視点で読むことも可能だと思いますし、また、aggressiveであることを絶対善とする風潮が、アメリカ人自身にも足枷になっているということを理解し、こうした本が出てくるいまのアメリカの空気を感じとれれば、では日本はどうなのか、という思考を巡らせるきっかけにもなりそうな内容かと思います。

Susan Cain's insightful exploration of the introvert-extrovert spectrum not only offers deep insights into the strengths and qualities of introverts but also serves as a wake-up call for extroverts like myself to better appreciate and harness the power of introversion. This book is not just for introverts; it's for everyone.
Cain's storytelling skills make this book an engaging and informative read. Her anecdotes and the extensive research behind her arguments blend seamlessly, making it accessible and compelling for a wide range of readers. I found myself nodding in agreement and often saying, "Aha, that's me!" or "I never thought of it that way."
"Quiet" is not just about the inherent qualities of introverts; it also delves into the societal bias towards extroversion and offers valuable advice on how to create a world that caters to both personality types. Whether you're an introvert seeking validation and guidance or an extrovert looking to understand and collaborate more effectively with your introverted counterparts, this book has something profound to offer.
In a world that often celebrates the loudest voices, "Quiet" is a refreshing reminder of the incredible strengths that introverts bring to the table. It has helped me appreciate the power of silence and solitude, and how crucial they are for creativity, leadership, and personal growth.
I highly recommend "Quiet" to anyone who wants to better understand the dynamics of introversion and extroversion and how they shape our lives and society as a whole. It's a game-changer, and I can't recommend it enough. Susan Cain's work is nothing short of brilliant, and this book deserves every one of its five stars.
