Over a third of the population are introverts - "who
prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying; who innovate &
create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over
brainstorming in teams. Although they are often labeled 'quiet,' it is
to introverts that we owe many of the great contributions to
society ..." Yet current society undervalues introverts, and we lose much in the process.

"Solitude matters. For some people, it is the air that they breath. In fact, we've known for centuries about the transcendent power of solitude. It's only recently that we've strangely begun to forget it."
