How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole

Susan Cain

Discover the power of a bittersweet outlook on life with this thought-provoking masterpiece. The same author who brought us the bestselling phenomenon, Quiet, delves into the importance of acknowledging our sorrows, longings, and the passing of time. Through personal stories, research, and memoir, we explore bittersweetness as a way of being, a storied heritage that can help us transcend pain and connect with others. At a time of discord and anxiety, this book will bring you unexpected insights and kinship.

A gorgeous book was published yesterday. Bittersweet, by @susancain. My blurb for it: "She takes you to a room in your own heart full of treasures that you had forgotten about. This is a book to read, feel, and savor."      source

Last year, from all the books I read I feel I was defined by those two: The Dance of Anger by @HarrietLerner,& Set Boundaries Find Peace by @NedraTawwab. I feel like this year my 2 defining books will be: Atlas of the Heart by @BreneBrown,& Bitter Sweet by @susancain. Can't wait!      source
