Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking is a book written by Susan Cain. The book explains how Western culture transformed from a culture of character to a culture of personality in which an "extrovert ideal" dominates and introversion is undervalued and even seen as inferior.   Cain, a self-described introvert, made a passionate talk about the subject (TED 2012) and prepared a delighful animation illustrated by Molly Crabapple that is completely worth watching.
