This Audible Original weaved together many disparate, confusing experiences during my 49 years. Susan’s uplifting offering resonates deeply. Finally, how I operate makes sense and is recognized as a source of strength. Many dots were connected. Quietness, uniqueness, oneness and belonging were neatly packaged. And bonus exercises provided for deeper exploration.

I like Susan’s approach. She draws from a variety of sources and personal stories to underscore her approach to living from the heart. Her ideas are practical while inviting us to create something wondrous. I appreciate how she brings people together on this journey and offers ideas for connection to others on this path. Susan’s emphasis on creating community and her facilitation of that community really sets her apart as a guide.

Religious or maybe spiritual if you see it that way. Maybe you will. The 15 word minimum is petty and detracting from my abilities to leave a simple message.

Very reassuring.

Loved listening to the quiet life. I knew this is what I have been seeking but didn’t know it was actually a thing that you could nurture and foster on a deeper level.
I have been trying to heal my fractured nervous system since leaving the corporate world and this was helpful. Thank you Susan.

People who finish this book are likely all on the same page about the wonders of what a simple, quiet life look like. The amazing Susan Cain takes listeners on a journey where they are the only glue and bridge to the story.

My mother would love this, but she speaks Spanish. If you’re reading this and know of a Spanish version, I implore you to please let me know. I want to love the world the way a mother loves her children.

It’s in the Air
