When it come to book lovers, we come in all shapes, sizes, and personality types. Some of us are extremely extroverted, and some of us prefer to make a mark in our own quiet way. Whatever you’re like, Susan Cain’s Quiet Power is a must for your shelf: it’s an empowering and insightful book that will change the way you think about introverts forever. Full of advice, stories, and tips, it’s also illustrated with art that will be eye-opening to extroverts and introverts alike! Read on for 3 of our favorites:

1. How to leave a party early

As much as we love piñatas, Susan Cain suggests picking a reasonable goal for yourself – an hour, perhaps – and inform your parent or guardian to be on call at that appointed time. Then, if you find yourself overwhelmed, text them to come and pick you up.

2. What I need to lead

Empower others. Generous leaders make sure that others have a sense of purpose, by giving them key roles and by soliciting their opinions and acting on them when they make sense. As a listener and observer, you’ll be uniquely tuned in to which role suit which people in your group.

3. Class participation for introverts

The best way to master school life is to find your personal sources of passion. Think about what goal is important to you. The more you care about a topic, the more comfortable you’ll feel speaking up about it.
