Susan Cain Libri

Il mondo è pieno di introversi: li vediamo, anche se non li sentiamo. A volte ci disturbano, con la loro reticenza. Altre volte ci affaticano, perché cedono sempre il passo a noi. Altre volte ancora li apprezziamo, perché sembrano innocui. Sono almeno un terzo delle persone che conosciamo: sono quelli che preferiscono ascoltare, invece che parlare; che preferiscono leggere invece che fare vita sociale; quelli che creano e inventano, ma che non ostentano la loro opinione. A molti di loro dobbiamo alcuni dei più grandi progressi dell'umanità: dalla teoria della gravità, all'invenzione del computer, da Harry Potter a Google. Ma come trovano spazio gli introversi in una società che sembra premiare solo le personalità estroverse, competitive ed egocentriche? Raccontando anni di esperienza come consulente e il suo passaggio da una timidezza riluttante a una timidezza orgogliosa, Susan Cain accende un riflettore sugli introversi che sono fra di noi, spiegandone la forza e il ruolo nella nostra società.

In her latest work, Susan Cain explores the depths of sorrow and longing, revealing the profound lessons these emotions can teach us about creativity, compassion, leadership, spirituality, mortality, and love. She introduces the concept of bittersweetness, characterized by a blend of longing, poignancy, and sorrow, alongside a heightened awareness of time and a unique joy found in beauty. This duality of light and dark, birth and death, reflects the intertwined nature of our experiences. Bittersweetness manifests in various forms, from music to poetry, leading us to a deeper connection with humanity. Rather than being a fleeting emotion, it represents a way of being and a rich heritage, supported by artistic, spiritual, and scientific insights. Cain emphasizes that embracing our own sorrows is crucial; neglecting them can lead to harm towards others. Recognizing our shared experiences of loss allows us to turn towards one another, transforming pain into creativity and connection. In a time marked by discord and anxiety, this exploration of bittersweetness offers a path to unity and understanding.

To, že autorčin zájem o téma introverze tak neuvěřitelně zarezonoval, asi vypovídá o trendu naší doby – objevovat sílu v tom, co je (zdánlivě) slabé, a hodnotu v tom, co bylo dříve příliš nenápadné. Miliony lidí tak přijali, že jsou introvertní či plaší, a zjistili, že právě díky těmto vlastnostem jsou dobří posluchači, kteří dovedou navazovat hluboké vztahy. Že jsou v kontaktu se svým vnitřním já. Že zvládnou všechno to, co je běžné pro extraverty, jen si poté musí zalézt někam na klidné místo a načerpat energii. Mnoho lidí Susan Cainové řeklo, že by si bývali rádi její knihu přečetli, když byli děti, dospívali nebo se sami stali rodiči introvertních dětí. A právě pro ně napsala Tichou sílu. Zde se zaměřuje na důležitá témata života dětí a dospívajících (škola, společenský kontakt, koníčky, domov), dává užitečné tipy (jak si uvědomit sílu své povahy, nebo naopak vystoupit z komfortní zóny), dělí se o svůj příběh i výpovědi mnoha introvertních dětí a dospívajících a knihu zakončuje doslovem pro rodiče a učitele. Kniha je určena pro introvertní a plaché děti a dospívající, jejich rodiny a ty, kdo s nimi profesně přicházejí do kontaktu.

Cicha rewolucja... Co najmniej jedna trzecia osób, które znamy, to introwertycy. Preferują słuchanie od mówienia, czytanie książek od uczestnictwa w przyjęciach. Są pomysłowi i twórczy, ale unikają autopromocji oraz pracy w zespole. Choć często określa się ich jako ciche i spokojne, introwertycy przyczynili się do wielu wielkich osiągnięć, od słynnych słoneczników van Gogha po pierwszy komputer osobisty. Książka, oparta na badaniach naukowych i pełna fascynujących opowieści, ukazuje niedocenianie introwertyków i straty, jakie ponosi nasz rozgadany świat. Autorka, korzystając z wyników badań z psychologii i neurobiologii, ujawnia różnice między ekstrawertykami a introwertykami. Inspirującym aspektem jest prezentacja sukcesów introwertyków, od dynamicznych prelegentów po osiągających rekordowe wyniki sprzedaży akwizytorów, którzy czerpią siłę z samotności. Autorka dzieli się cennymi radami, jak lepiej radzić sobie z różnicami w relacjach introwertyk-ekstrawertyk, wzmacniać poczucie własnej wartości w introwertycznych dzieciach oraz kiedy warto udawać ekstrawertyka. Ta książka zmienia postrzeganie introwertyków oraz ich samego siebie.
