Susan Cain on Reaching a Quiet Life

Introverts around the world celebrated, quietly, when Susan
Cain’s book, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t
Stop Talking, became a #1 best-seller back in 2012. Her next
book, Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole, also
went to #1. Now Cain is back with an audio series, A Quiet Life
in Seven Steps, about how to reach a quieter mindset. In this
interview, we talk through some of those steps and the challenges
one might face in trying to get there.
