Susan Cain is a former Wall Street lawyer who spent seven years writing Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking (2012). The book argues that Western culture undervalues introverts and wastes their potential. It became a #1 New York Times bestseller and sparked a wave of books about introversion.

Quiet Power (2016) adapts the same ideas for younger readers, co-authored with Gregory Mone and Erica Moroz. Her second major work, Bittersweet (2022), shifts focus to the power of sorrow and longing, drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and memoir. It was selected for Oprah’s Book Club in 2023.
