TED: 'The Power of Introverts'(내향적인 사람들의 힘) - Susan Cain

Overview

In a culture where being social and outgoing are prized above all else, 

it can be difficult, even shameful, to be an introvert. 

But, as Susan Cain argues in this passionate talk, introverts bring extraordinary talents and abilities to the world, and should be encouraged and celebrated.

사교적이고 외향적인 문화는 항상 좋게 여겨왔습니다. 그래서 내향적인

것은 어렵고 심지어 부끄럽다고 생각하기도 합니다. 

하지만 수잔 케인의 열정적인 강연에서 내향적인 사람들은 특별한 재능과 능력을 세상에 보여 줄 수 있고, 권장되고 축복받아야하는 성격이라고 말합니다.

 

 

*Susan Cain

is a former corporate lawyer and negotiations consultant -- and a self-described introvert. At least one-third of the people we know are introverts, notes Cain in her new book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking. Although our culture undervalues them dramatically, introverts have made some of the great contributions to society – from Chopin's nocturnes to the invention of the personal computer to Gandhi’s transformative leadership. Cain argues that we design our schools, workplaces, and religious institutions for extroverts, and that this bias creates a waste of talent, energy, and happiness. Based on intensive research in psychology and neurobiology and on prolific interviews, she also explains why introverts are capable of great love and great achievement, not in spite of their temperaments -- but because of them.
