Susan Cain sets the record straight about introversion in this TED Talk. She's just published Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking. I can't wait to read it (although the subtitle is a bit too noisy for my introvert sensibilities).
In grade two I wrote a short story about my desire to build a wall around my desk. I can still see the red brick wall that would have filtered out noise and distraction. I was, and still am, introverted, not shy. The February 6, 2012 cover of Time magazine perpetuates the myth that introverts are shy. I hope that Susan Cain's message reaches the masses and that the masses listen.

Hi Karen, that was really amazing viewing! so much so, I'm going out to buy the book now. Jason and I will both look forward to reading this one! (being introverts ourselves). xo Kristina
