Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverts
by Grant Snider, Gregory Mone, Susan Cain
As an introverted teenager, reading "Quiet" by Susan Cain was beneficial to me, but I wished to see a book that included the struggles of someone still in school who was shy and less talkative. "Quiet Power" was an eye-opener for me, and I thought it addressed the plight of being a teenage introvert with empathy and understanding. I enjoyed thoroughly the individual stories about the students in the book, and many of them I could relate to. The girls who tried out yoga, writing, and acting shared similar experiences to me. Yoga provides me also with an "euphoria" of sorts as the practice doubles as exercise and a reflective activity. I realized that writing was a way for me to socialize with my characters and other people my age interested in the craft. In my sophomore year, I participated in the school play and I found that reading over the lines for hours by myself and swapping the lines back and forth with family members aided me to feel excited on opening night, where I was one of the leads. This book captures the experience of what it's like to be an introvert on all levels, as well as the advantages and disadvantages.
