Power of "Quiet"
"Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking" will be the focus when Jungian psychotherapist Jason Smith leads a group discussion at Manchester Public Library on Thursday, April 26, at 7 p.m. Susan Cain's New York Times bestseller challenges the excessively extrovert American prototype of "success" with the more solid values of solitude and reflection that generate creative, analytical, original thinking. Jason Smith's Jungian background adds a powerfully personal as well as professional perspective on "introversion" — a term that Jung himself is credited with coining.
