Jean Baker asked Susan Cain:

I LOVE this book! I'm an introvert, though people are always surprised to hear that. Would you talk about networking as an introvert? I've written about that in my blog, but would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you!

Susan Cain I always recommend a quota system for networking events. Try to connect with each person you speak to on a deep level. Once you’ve spoken to three people whose company you truly enjoyed and who you’re authentically happy to keep in touch with and help in any way you can, then you get to go home!

'Quiet' is a masterpiece in so many ways, but what I really love is that your arguments are so rooted in research. I wondered whether your research gave birth to the book or whether the book's theme gave rise to the research, or what the relationship between the two was?

Marjolein asked Susan Cain:

The way that I'm taught to be a teacher is all focused on teaching in a way that, in my opinion, only suits the extroverted. How can I provide for the needs of introverts to be able to learn and feel good in a class that's also full of extroverted children?

Balin Brandt asked Susan Cain:

Love the book and the insights. I work for a design studio. We have an open plan office. I find it hard to work there due to the noise and distractions. I'd like to advocate for a more varied layout that allows for everyone's work style. But I am hitting a lot of resistance from folks who think open plan is better and the only way to go. Any suggestions?
