About This Quote

A manifesto for introverts is a book written by Susan Cain, an author and social psychologist. The book was released in 2012. The book talks about the introverted nature of many people and the way they go about their day to day activities. She also talks about how introverts can make a difference in the society and the world.

The book has been well received and has had a great impact on people working at all levels whether it be at home or in a professional environment. In this article, we will be looking into the main points that were mentioned in the book and how they apply to us, the extroverts. 1. There's a word for 'people who are in their heads too much': thinkers In this quote, she talks about the word ‘thinkers’ and how it can sometimes be misconstrued by others as being introverted when it is not necessarily the case at all.

She says that people think that being introverted means being quiet and being able to sit in one spot for hours thinking about ideas, but there are other ways of being an introvert such as listening to music or even reading a book to occupy your time without having to think about it all the time. This shows that there is no one type of introvert rather there are different types of introverts depending on what they enjoy doing most. 2. Solitude is a catalyst for innovation In this quote, she talks about how solitude can lead to creativity and innovativeness because many great ideas originate from solitary acts such as writing a poem or playing a musical instrument.

This proves that although solitude may be difficult to get used to at first, it really does come back with some good results if you make the effort to do so. 3. The next generation of quiet kids can and must be raised to know their own strengths In this quote, she talks about raising children who have been brought up from birth being taught from an early age that they have different strengths from others which leaves them confident in knowing what they are good at doing as well as having a good understanding of what it takes to succeed at things they want to do however big or small those things may be. This will help them build confidence because they will know what they are capable of doing without feeling threatened by those who have more talent than them but have never used them because of their lack of confidence in themselves which is very damaging for many people. 4.
