In her debut book of inspiration, poet Najwa Zebian shares her revolutionary concept of home the place of safety where you can embrace your vulnerability and discover your self-worth. Too many of us build our homes in other people, hoping that they will welcome us inside and we feel abandoned and empty when those people leave. Building your home inside yourself begins here. The powerful metaphor of home provides a structure for personal transformation as she shows you how to construct the following rooms: Self-Love, Forgiveness, Compassion, Clarity, Surrender, and The Dream Garden. Build each room in your house to form a firm basis for your self-worth, sense of belonging, and happiness. This book provides the life-changing tools for building that inner space of healing and solace.

She also introduces us to "successful introverts“ from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.
