What Leila is Reading This Week
Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop TalkingThe common complaint teachers listed on all of my report cards—kindergarten through high school—was, “Leila’s too quiet.” This new release is a wonderful edition to the material and research out there on how being quiet, being introverted, is a masterful position to be in. Shhh . . . I won’t say (write) any more. And don’t assume because you don’t hear from me, I have nothing to say.
