We are grateful to a reader for the reflections below on a previous blog – and thanks for the permission to publish then. We are delighted to share on the subject of how much interaction with people do we need/like in pursuit of the development of ideas:

“I was browsing through the Idenk blog this morning and came across your 5 November entry on the power of quiet: .

As a fully-fledged (almost off the scale) I, Susan Cain’s book, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, was a fascinating read for me. At times, in fact, it read like a user guide to myself; something I wanted to hand out to other people and say “if you want to understand me, read this!” I have spoken to other introverts who are in leadership roles and they too have found the book to be right on the money.

If you have not come across it, Susan Cain’s TED talk is worth a watch too.”

And we see that the Cain TED video is in Bill Gates’ top 12 TED talks…
