As someone who has always struggled with shyness, and particularly as a child, this book feels very welcome.
Nadia Finer takes a practical, very reassuring approach, highlighting interesting and successful men and women who have achieved everything they wanted or made their voices heard despite being shy.
Those featured include Beyoncé, Einstein, Greta Thunberg and Lewis Hamilton and in addition to holding up such inspiring examples of people who were shy and often bullied succeeding, Finer also offers readers exercises we can do to help us acknowledge our strengths and develop the confidence to make our voices heard.
It’s a book you can either read from start to finish, or dip in and out of, and these life stories make perfect bedtime reading, setting you up nicely for the new day. Shy people, we have nothing to lose but our reticence!

Quiet Riot: True Tales of Shy Superheroes Who Changed the World Synopsis
Why is it, when we see people achieving incredible things, that they all seem so outgoing? Where are all the softly spoken leaders, artists, innovators and champions?
When you're shy, it's tempting to hide away in the background of your life. But, when we keep ourselves small, we miss out. And so does everyone else - quiet people have so much to offer the world! In this book you will find 40 stories of shy and mighty magnificence to show you that softly spoken people are trailblazers too. Sometimes we are just a bit more quiet about it!
Quiet Riot shares the triumphs and successes of shy people from all over the world and all kinds of backgrounds, including athletes, writers, explorers, inventors, artists, singers and activists. The book is divided into 10 key themes, including:
- Dream Massive: Lionel Messi and Anthony Horowitz
- Be Kind to Yourself: Zendaya and Wolfgang Puck
- Find Your People: Alan Turing and Misty Copeland
- Be True to You: Beyonce and David Bowie
- Take a Stand: Marcus Rashford and Greta Thunberg
Each section ends with a series of useful coaching questions to help you absorb the book's key messages, giving you the confidence to speak up, stand up for your beliefs and follow your dreams. Because your voice matters, and the world needs to hear what you have to say.
