Susan Cain

Susan Cain is an American writer and lecturer best known for Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking (2012), which argues that Western culture misreads and undervalues introverted people. She followed it with Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverts (2016), aimed at introverted children and teens and the adults who teach them, and with Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole (2022), which treats sadness and longing as a counterweight to constant positivity.
