The power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking

As the science journalist Winifred Gallagher writes: "The glory of the disposition that stops to consider stimuli rather than rushing to engage with them is its long association with intellectual and artistic achievement. Neither E=mc2 nor Paradise Lost was dashed off by a party animal."  Al Gore, Warren Buffett, Einstein (photo below), Eleanor Roosevelt and Gandhi achieved what they did not in spite of but because of their introversion.
