Power Of The Bittersweet

In this audio excerpt from her book, author Susan Cain shows the power of the "bittersweet" -- the outlook that values the experiences of loss and pain, which can lead to growth and beauty. Understanding bittersweetness can change the way we work, the way we create and the way we love.

Thank you much! I so much relate to that which you share here. For 78 years I have been described as moody, quiet, sometimes depressive, and sometimes too serious or analytical and temperamental, but certainly with that I have also been described as amazingly creative, sometimes mischievous or playful, often compassionate and generous and I love music and movies that bring me to tears. I certainly contemplate death, especially as I get older now, and it doesn’t trouble me, even as I walk that path with others. Actually, over the years, I’ve learned to appreciate and value all of those parts of me. I will certainly look into your book. 🙏

Thank you for so eloquently putting into words what I've always thought and felt.

Interesting introduction to the author's newest book. I am interested in the book and was glad to find this here. It's a well-written explanation of a deep but relatively obscure topic, melancoly in the arts and how we interface with it.

Wow! Truly inspiring and I am looking forward to reading the book.

Very inspirational! Thank you, Susan.
