Review of Quiet by Susan Cain

Calling all introverts! (Or parents or spouses of introverts!). In Quiet, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so.

The rise of the cultural ideal throughout the twentieth century focused on the extrovert which led to introverts questioning their talents. In this thoughtful book, Susan Cain does an excellent job highlighting the virtues of the listeners and reflectors.

After a busy holiday season, most introverts will need some time to recharge by spending time alone. Whereas extroverts gain energy from being around people, introverts have their energy drained. If you have an introvert in your life, respect this difference and know they will feel better at the next social setting if they have some downtime in between events.

Nat Phos which we discussed earlier, is a water distributor and these two tissue salts work well together. Nat Sulph is extremely effective in treating malarial fever as it helps remove the excess water from the blood which is where the malaria bacteria breeds.
