Celebrating introversion is a reaction to the cultural notion that extroversion is the ideal. It's unfortunate that you (and presumably others) get getting the impression that it's being put forward as better. I don't think the likes of Susan Cain are saying that. Let's recognize instead that not everyone is the same, and that a Procrustean approach is stifling and counterproductive.
I'm sure that there are some people who want the pendulum to swing their way. That can serve a purpose of raising awareness, but should never come at the expense of stifling extroverts.
