quiet-the-power-of-introverts-in-a-world-that-cant-stop-talking-susan-cain
Author’s NoteI have been working on this book officiallysince 2005, and unofficially formy entire adult life. I have spoken andwritten to hundreds, perhaps thousands,of people about the topicscovered inside, and have read as manybooks, scholarly papers, magazinearticles, chat-room discussions, andblog posts. Some of these I mention inthe book; others informed almost everysentence I wrote. Quiet stands on manyshoulders, especially the scholars andresearchers whose work taught me somuch. In a perfect world, I would havenamed every one of my sources, mentors,and interviewees. But for the sakeof readability, some names appear onlyin the Notes or Acknowledgments.
For similar reasons, I did not use ellipsesor brackets in certain quotationsbut made sure that the extra or missingwords did not change the speaker’s orwriter’s meaning. If you would like toquote these written sources from theoriginal, the citations directing you tothe full quotations appear in the Notes.I’ve changed the names and identifyingdetails of some of the people whosestories I tell, and in the stories of myown work as a lawyer and consultant.To protect the privacy of the participantsin Charles di Cagno’s publicspeaking workshop, who did not planto be included in a book when theysigned up for the class, the story of myfirst evening in class is a compositebased on several sessions; so is thestory of Greg and Emily, which is basedon many interviews with similarcouples.
