I feel like I trust the author's intentions, but don't trust her ability to relay her research accurately. Some analogies used to make a point were simply inaccurate, honing in on a specific part of a culture while ignoring the complicated and more complete picture. I often felt like I wasn't sure where she was going with something. The book is extremely heavy on the telling of personal stories and experiences, and unfortunately I just didn't find them stimulating, nor did I feel there was a cohesive direction. 

I think this book might have a place with people who have never really considered delving into themselves before, but it felt a bit pedestrian for me.

I have seen other reviewers say that Quiet was far better researched and put together, so I still intend to read that.
