Quiet

Shhh..., argues this new book, which theorizes that North America’s loud-louder-loudest culture is detrimental to everyone, but especially to “high-reactive” adults and shy kids. Includes practical real-life tips for introverts stuck in an extrovert’s world, such as the secrets to public speaking.

Quiet, Susan Cain, $28.
