The Quiet Manifesto
There is a word for “people who are in their heads too much”—thinkers.
Solitude is a catalyst for innovation.
The next generation of quiet kids can and must be raised to know their own strengths.
Sometimes it helps to be a pretend-extrovert. There is always time to be quiet later.
But in the long run, staying true to your temperament is the key to finding work you love and work that matters.
One genuine relationship is worth a fistful of business cards.
It’s okay to cross the street to avoid making small talk.
“Quiet leadership” is not an oxymoron.
Love is essential; gregariousness is optional.
“In a gentle way, you can shake the world.” —Mahatma Gandhi
