Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking By Susan Cain
《内向性格的竞争力》 苏珊·凯恩
Every introverts should read this book. Susan Cain bring together the leading researches in Phycology, Neuroscience, life story and partial advice from and for introverts.
First of all, Introversion is not a problem. Business and Financial become over-competitive and neglect risk largely due to the cooperate culture of extroversion. Second, Introversion has genetical and physiological base, people can not just “come out of their shell.” Lastly, even the most introverted people can, through practice, expand the social situation that she is competent in, if that thing is align with her core value. This is by no mean a complete summary.
孔子曰:「言寡尤，行寡悔，禄在其中」老子曰「言多词穷，不如守中」
然而，不知从何时开始，或许是受西方文化影响，我们也越来越推崇外向，推崇表现。各种少儿才艺大赛，到微博抖音网红，再到公司文化团建，“美式”活跃，主动，展示的人际文化几乎成为主流。苏珊在书中把东亚儒家文化圈描绘成内向者的理想环境，但事实可能并非如此。
如果你是内向者，强烈推荐阅读，这将是一本自我发现之道的书。作者结合了心理学，脑神经学最新研究，各行各业的内向者的真实故事，和实用可行的建议方法。
附言：我读的是英文原版，总结是自己野生翻译，可能于中文版不一致。
附言2: 虽然没有读中文版，但严重怀疑翻译水平。这个中文标题完全就没有理解书中内容，书中有一个章节明明说到，内向和外向的一个区别是，内向者偏好合作，避免冲突，而外向者才是偏好竞争。结果书名居然翻译成“内向性格的竞争力”，真是让人无语吐血。私以为，还不如直译为《安静：在纷杂世界中内向的力量》
