When I started this podcast, my #1 dream guest was Susan Cain. So, I'm very happy to bring this episode to you today.
Susan's 2012 book, "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" was my first introduction to introversion. The book changed my life (and thousands of others worldwide) because it changed how I saw myself.
It was through learning about introversion that I learned about high sensitivity; I wouldn't be typing this to you today without her book as the inception.
Susan is the co-founder of Quiet Revolution and the author of the bestsellers "Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverts", and "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in A World That Can’t Stop Talking", which has been translated into 40 languages and been on the New York Times bestseller list for over four years. Her record-smashing TED talk has been viewed over 15 million times. She is an honors graduate of Princeton and Harvard Law School.
Some of the topics covered in this episode include:
- What it was like to be a Wall Street lawyer and an introvert
- If she's an HSP
- The difference between HSP and introversion
- Open place workspaces
- How Susan dealt with the huge popularity of her book and TED talk
- The introvert backlash
....and more.
