Silenzio Serie

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.

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.

The monumental bestseller Quiet has been recast in a new edition that empowers introverted kids and teens Susan Cain sparked a worldwide conversation when she published Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking.

You’ll read about actual kids who have tackled the challenges of not being extroverted and who have made a mark in their own quiet way. You’ll hear Susan Cain’s own story, and you’ll be able to make use of the tips at the end of each chapter. There’s even a guide at the end of the book for parents and teachers. This insightful, accessible, and empowering book, illustrated with amusing comic-style art, will be eye-opening to extroverts and introverts alike.
