QUIET POWER The Secret Strengths of Introverts

Kathe Mazur’s placid narration is a perfect complement for this book— based on Cain’s bestseller, QUIET, and recast for children. The discussion explores the beauty of being introverted—how we relate to and can learn to treasure introverts and celebrate the power of quiet. In this detailed exploration, Mazur’s resonant voice persuasively conveys coping skills for introverts, who often struggle to be respected in American society, which views extroverted personalities as the ideal. As the authors discuss the marvelous qualities and advantages of being an introvert, Mazur exudes a reassuring warmth. She gently campaigns for the shy and introverted who are part of the “quiet revolution,” which, as revealed in numerous examples, is just as important and powerful as the outspoken, attention-drawing actions of extroverts.
