I get the sense that Senechal ought to exchange ideas with Susan Cain, author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts. It's not so much that I think solitude is only beneficial to introverts, but Senechal's arguments about the benefits of solitude in education etc. mirror Cain's contention that a society is better off paying attention to the contributions of introverts. Maybe I'll write something more detailed about this once I've read both books.

Quiet is such an amazing book, isn't it? I gave that to my mom after I was done with it so that she can understand me a bit better.
