2、ad of working alongside people theyve known all their lives, now they are having to prove themselves in a crowd of strangers. so, quite understandably, qualities like magnetism and charisma suddenly come to seem really important. and sure enough, the self-help books change to meet these new needs an

3、d they start to have names like “how to win friends and influence people.“ and they feature as their role models really great salesmen. so thats the world were living in today. thats our cultural inheritance.now none of this is to say that social skills are unimportant, and im also not calling for t

4、he abolishing of teamwork at all. the same religions who send their sages off to lonely mountain tops also teach us love and trust. and the problems that we are facing today in fields like science and in economics are so vast and so complex that we are going to need armies of people coming together

5、to solve them working together. but i am saying that the more freedom that we give introverts to be themselves, the more likely that they are to come up with their own unique solutions to these problems.so now id like to share with you whats in my suitcase today. guess what? books. i have a suitcase

6、 full of books. heres margaret atwood, “cats eye.“ heres a novel by milan kundera. and heres “the guide for the perplexed“ by maimonides. but these are not exactly my books. i brought these books with me because they were written by my grandfathers favorite authors.my grandfather was a rabbi and he

7、was a widower who lived alone in a small apartment in brooklyn that was my favorite place in the world when i was growing up, partly because it was filled with his very gentle, very courtly presence and partly because it was filled with books. i mean literally every table, every chair in this apartm

9、s steve wozniak famously coming together with steve jobs to start apple computer - but it does mean that solitude matters and that for some people it is the air that they breathe. and in fact, we have known for centuries about the transcendent power of solitude. its only recently that weve strangely

10、 begun to forget it. if you look at most of the worlds major religions, you will find seekers - moses, jesus, buddha, muhammad - seekers who are going off by themselves alone to the wilderness where they then have profound epiphanies and revelations that they then bring back to the rest of the commu

11、nity. so no wilderness, no revelations.this is no surprise though if you look at the insights of contemporary psychology. it turns out that we cant even be in a group of people without instinctively mirroring, mimicking their opinions. even about seemingly personal and visceral things like who youre

12、 attracted to, you will start aping the beliefs of the people around you without even realizing that thats what youre doing.and groups famously follow the opinions of the most dominant or charismatic person in the room, even though theres zero correlation between being the best talker and having the

13、 best ideas - i mean zero. so . (laughter) you might be following the person with the best ideas, but you might not. and do you really want to leave it up to chance? much better for everybody to go off by themselves, generate their own ideas freed from the distortions of group dynamics, and then com
