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.
Nadia Finer knows what it's like to struggle with shyness, but instead of hiding at home watching Netflix with her fuzzy dog Bobby, she's embarking on a softly-spoken mission to help shy people be more mighty. Nadia has done some pretty cool stuff... in her own quiet way; she has given talks in front of hundreds of people, appeared on television and radio, she's an ambassador for Girl Guiding UK, hosts her own podcast, and she's a published author. Nadia also runs the Mighty Mob, which is an online program to help shy kids feel braver, more able to speak up and join in, and more comfortable to be themselves.
