Book: Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain

I thought this book was great, although at times, or maybe throughout the entire book, it was very one-sided. Obviously a book about introverts is going to mention scientific finding that say that introversion is perfectly acceptable and even superior. However, I feel like a lot of the book could have been written for extroverts too, complete with scientific studies proclaiming extroversion to be superior. Also, I would have much preferred footnotes or superscripts to indicate references or something like that instead of putting all the references for one chapter together. There were definitely studies mentioned that I would have liked to know more about that I couldn't find in the endnotes, which bothered me a bit.
