I like being quiet and drama free.
I could not agree more -our Creator made us for that!
I totally agree-TOTALLY.
How true.@@MochaBrady
How we live is man made global governance created
I feel like quiet is disconnecting from the noise of social media and other outlets. I think this is appealing and relevant now more than ever.
I agree...and I think ironically that includes broadcast media.
I agree! Being present 🎉
@djmtpa 100%. ESPECIALLY broadcast media. They push fear and consumerism...key tenets of a "noisy life," more than anyone else.
Needed more than ever

The Bible has a scripture in it that has been my focus over the last 2 years. "..Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, mind your own business and work with your hands so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anyone."
I am still working on this! But, this scripture has given me "permission," like this person mentioned, to take steps to make my life a little bit quieter.
Which book and verse is this?
1 Thessalonians 4:11
Thank you for sharing this scripture Christa!
Being around "drama people" is draining! I love a quiet life!
When you live a quiet life you live for yourself; when you live loud you live for others
Absolutely the opposite😊
Nahhhh
Profound
I get your point, but most people hunger for human connection and over-isolating is not necessarily healthy. In fact, loneliness can be a silent killer. Find balance.
@@FriendofDorothy Quiet don't mean lonely...
I agree 💯. Living a quiet, healthy life is golden. 🌟
I’m an introvert and this is how I am now.
Ditto
And ditto here
People who understand and get this are special and unique. The rest of the world are not awake.
Agreed ❤❤❤
It's not only social media and people having busy lives because that's the norm of the society we live in today. But also people deal with negative people and people who like to start chaos, that's also part of the world we live in today. This is my opinion and from my experience.
I have the book Quite and I absolutely love this book! In the book, Susan talks about introverts and extroverts. Susan talks about how society loves extroverts.
I love the quiet life. For me when I have a chance, I like to take nature walks and sit down and listen to the quiet. No noise, no running around, just sitting down doing something I enjoy doing or taking a walk. I don't get lonely because I have been around toxic people and I enjoy the break from toxicity and being alone.
Such a wonderful segment. I need this book! I love tuning into nature, and I spend a lot of time alone, well… taking care of an elderly parent. I often feel sad, and I have grief for my “ small” life. We do live in this “ toxic positivity “ culture, where it doesn’t seem ok to express pain and sadness. * Edit today: After four years, I think (I hope) I have found the right therapist to help me work through some deep (and old) pain!
My friend and I call it our Slow Simple Season of life.
The entire panel arrived on this show by navigating and triumphing in a brutal business. Broadcast journalism is a jungle. How they kept a straight face is impressive. They know there are a dozen people after their jobs right now.
This is how I have been living my life post COVID. I took all the pain and created something and released it to the world. It has been painful but it’s out.
Don’t chase happiness. Practice contentment, it takes a lot less effort !
Thank god - I’m so tired of “fake it till you make it”, “toot your horn”, “push it push it harder” slogans. Not everyone wants to be loud and pushy (obnoxious) to “get ahead”. Sorry (not sorry)
To have a quiet life is not so much to stay away from the noisy life outside of us. It is to stop the negative self talks in our head, to stop the worries, fear, anger, to stop the preoccupation of ME, MYSELF, MINE AND I. To live a quiet life is to love and accept and forgive ourselves unconditionally. It is to enjoy Grace from God.
Rest, relax, and receive love, grace from God. He created us good.
Susan Cain so refreshing !
Shout this lifestyle to the mountaintops. It really works!
Or climb the mountain and stand there quietly!
We love you, Susan ❤
What she is saying is turn off the tv’s and turn off the today show. Makes sense.
The 7 steps of quiet life is so beautiful and deeply touching
Quiet Life Is Beautiful❤
I have been living a quiet life for 4 years without the minimum use of social media.
This is lovely.
Thank you very much 😊
Just got the quiet book
The best kind of quiet means unplugging...and not watching any media, including this channel. If you do not turn off your phone or device, this story did not convince you to have a quiet life. It also means our media drug dealer has us by the balls and we can't let go of our addiction... their plan is working. ❤ 🌎 ✌ Good Luck Folks! I'm going for another line...I mean scroll.. I can't help myself... I must know crap about crap..I must!!
Media drug dealer. This. 😢
I will purchase her book She is simply in slow motion which I love. She's not in a hurry But the journalists are on a time clock hearing Wrap it up lol
Good for her, the author, for not rushing 😊
Best thing you can do is quit watching the news! And then tv all together!
"Deeper Happiness" is money: to have high education, enjoy life traveling an take care of your health when aging comes .
With the socmed era, there is also power in quiet living. More peaceful.
Just read Marcus Aurelius and the Stoics -- and you'll lead a good quiet life.
I agree. The Stoic philosophy is very practical.
*How beautiful*
Tbh social media messes shyt up n 2020 nothing is normal
We all gonna die anyway...why not live a quiet life instead of all this excess...
I know this since the age of 5.
Live quiet life. Write books, do public speaking, appear on tv, constantly sell yourself publicly. Got it. lol
Can I pay my bills with being quiet?
I achieved enlightenment it's really not a big deal
Been doing that most of my life never did like the rat race
I love Audible - and a quiet life sounds terrific. It's a goal. I'll check out the book. 👍🏼update - that's a very good book so far!!!
Ironyyyy
This doesn’t mean quiet luxury
What?
She looks so different!!! Almost another person!!!
Most everything you’re saying is true, but you’re kind of beating around the bush. His name is Jesus!!✨🙏🔥
LOL, she's not beating around the bush. Her work does not involve Jesus. If you think that's the way, great for you, but that's not what Susan is talking about.
Our ultimate peace comes from the Lord, I agree.
By tuning into nature and simplifying our lives,we can receive God's messages and peace more easily and completely.
death is quiet
But it's not life.
Bake a cake for Asherah. 😊
That's what the Bible says
Quiet is boring but I get it
Haha I’m an introvert but appreciate we all have different personalities and different needs. Some need exuberant energy, others bustling noise others quiet calm. Personally I can’t stand quiet all the time.
Ufa
Live a peaceful quiet life by driving yourself to create a best seller. Network to get on national TV. Make a huge profit of money on your book. Buy two vacation homes, pay someone to maintain them...then live a peaceful quiet life 🙄
Well she did it in a peaceful manner.
@@Mia-vm6pl 😂
Make sure the book goes viral on social media!
Like Zen nothingness
Stagnation is the begining of the end, it preceeds death.
🤮
Yeah, Susan is not very quiet about her books, on top of all she is doing it in that saccharine tone.
She put into words what most people are thinking, those whose dreams feel "unfulfilled".
The today show...
Very shallow opinion on life. The diva has millions of views but offers nothing of substance.
What hypocrisy- she going the talk show circuit & doin Ted talks & shilling her books. Real Quiet lol!
Three black hosts and one White host 🤔
Sounds like excuses for sitting around the house feeling sorry for yourself.
I’m such a huge fan of Susan Cain. Read her book twice.
