What we can learn from introverts to be a little less dumb and (maybe) save the world.
In a world where the loudmouths always have the last word, introverts often struggle to make their mark, or simply to signify their existence. As an unwitting spokesperson for the silent majority, Olivier Niquet explains how his peers think, how new technologies have liberated their "speech", and how we might learn from them to bring a little more nuance to our debates, reduce polarization, and save the planet (or at least cure a couple of people of their verbal swelling).
Using dubious anecdotes, palpable discomfort, and semi-rigorous scientific studies, he also looks at his own case, that of an introvert who found himself, against all odds, working in the media. With The Kings of Silencehe helps introverts and extroverts to better understand each other, and especially to better talk to each other.
