Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole
Autor Susan Cainen Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 feb 2022
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER QUIET: THE POWER OF INTROVERTS IN A WORLD THAT CAN'T STOP TALKING
In her inspiring new masterpiece, the author of the bestselling phenomenon Quiet describes her powerful quest to understand how love, loss and sorrow make us whole - revealing the power of a bittersweet outlook on life.
Bittersweetness is a tendency towards states of longing, poignancy and sorrow; an acute awareness of passing time; and a curiously piercing joy at the beauty of the world. It recognizes that light and dark, birth and death - bitter and sweet - are forever paired.
If you seek out beauty in your everyday life . . .
If you find comfort or inspiration in a rainy day . . .
If you react intensely to music, art and nature . . .
Then you probably identify with the bittersweet state of mind.
With Quiet, Susan Cain urged our society to cultivate space for the undervalued, indispensable introverts among us, thereby revealing an untapped power hidden in plain sight. Now she employs the same mix of research, storytelling
and memoir to explore how embracing the bittersweetness at the heart of life is the true path to creativity and connection.
Cain shows movingly how a bittersweet state of mind - though we've been blind to its value - is the quiet force that helps us transcend our personal and collective pain. It can change the way we live, the way we work and the way we love. If we realize that all humans know - or will know - loss and suffering, we can turn towards one another.
At a time of profound discord and personal anxiety, Bittersweet brings us together in deep and unexpected ways.

Recenzii
Descriere
In this inspiring masterpiece about the power of a "bittersweet" outlook, bestselling author Susan Cain helps us value the experiences of loss and pain, revealing how to accept and grow from it rather than bury it.
Each chapter of Bittersweet helps us navigate one of seven dualities that define our lives: loss and love, winners and losers, birth and death. Using examples ranging from sport and the arts (where loss leads to creativity), to parenting and business (where sharing losses helps performance), she shows how understanding these dualities will allow us to create a wiser culture that will allow us to connect more deeply; to accept the loss of past identities; to fully embrace the loves we have; to perform acts of courage; and to weather life's transitions.
Bittersweet reveals that vulnerability and even melancholy can be strengths, and that embracing our inevitable losses makes us more human and more whole. This is a book for those who have felt a piercing joy at the beauty of the world; who react intensely to art, music and nature; and in a culture that celebrates toughness, who yearn for a more meaningful world.
