Title: The Quiet Way
Description: Text of a lecture delivered to the Sphex Club in Lynchburg. Marc Schewel's "The Quiet Way," critically examines the cultural bias towards extroversion in American society, juxtaposing it with the value of introversion. Schewel argues against the pervasive belief in the superiority of teamwork and extroversion for creativity and success, using historical and contemporary examples, including Roger Bannister's sub-four-minute mile and Steve Wozniak's creation of the Apple computer. The paper highlights the contributions of introverts to innovation and leadership, supported by research suggesting that solitude and deep work foster greater creativity and problem-solving than group work.
