About this listen

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook book edition of Quiet Power by Susan Cain, read by Kathe Mazur.

The highly anticipated follow-up to the sensational bestseller Quiet - empowering introverted children, teens and young adults

Susan Cain sparked a worldwide conversation with Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking. She inspired millions of people, and permanently changed the way we see introverts - and the way introverts see themselves. Now she takes the Quiet Revolution to a younger audience.

Childhood, adolescence and your early twenties are times wrought with insecurity and self-doubt. Your search for your place in the world can seem daunting. Focusing on the strengths and challenges of being introverted, Quiet Power is full of examples from school, family life and friendship, applying the breakthrough discoveries of Quiet to readers that so badly need them.

This insightful, accessible and empowering book is eye-opening to extroverts and introverts alike. Unlock your hidden superpower and give yourself the tools to make a mark - in your own quiet way.

Critic reviews

A brilliant handbook for quiet children (and their parents)... a celebration of the introvert
I wish I had had this book when I was 13. It needs to be read by parents as well as teenagers (Tim Lott)
Whether you are introvert, extrovert or ambivert, there is plenty of food for thought here... this book says if you've got an introverted child, maybe they're quite happy - accept them for who they are' (Simon Mayo)
Reading Quiet Power has given me a wake-up call, reminded me of my inner nature. To have some respect for the warning signs. Some of us need time to just be. Quietly'

Having only just very recently realised and accepted that I am actually an introvert that's been fighting against an externally expectant extroverted life style BEFORE I listened to this book, I can honestly say that having now consumed this book, I am far more at peace with being who I really am. Thank you Susan

Discovered introvertism and that i was one around 30+, this book helps as an lookingglass bacword couse it has alot of recognisions, so thanks for this, this book will help alot of persons like me before livin that amount of years bashing yourself for not fitting in and thinking something is wrong, something that is not so nice when you are so inwards with deep thinkings and overthinkings. Took years to balance alot out from what i had forced myself to try to be, and all arnt done yet but im a good way towards be thi real Me, and books like this helps in that both in healing and onwards so thanks :)

In this follow up Cain focuses on how it is to grow up as an introvert in a very extrovert school system. She shares stories about typical obstacles for introverts and how to overcome them.
Even though it wasn't as great as Quiet I really enjoyed it and found many useful tools here too.

A must read for parents of introvert kids

This book is incredible. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering why you act differently to the people around you but that you’re also incredible at making connections with people one to one, or in smaller groups. This breaks down why.

It highlights your introversion as a strength and gives you the tools to utilise it so that you achieve your full potential.

Definitely a must read for anyone who feels like they’re an introvert or how to understand someone in their life is who i.e. A child, sibling, parent or friend

Gave me a strategy for personal growth without shaming me for being shy
