Cain, Susan
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL MEGA-SELLER QUIET: THE POWER OF INTROVERTS IN A WORLD THAT CAN'T STOP TALKING
In this inspiring masterpiece, bestselling author Susan Cain shows the power of "bittersweetness" - a tendency toward sorrow and longing, an acute awareness of passing time, and a piercing joy when beholding beauty. But what are the powers of a bittersweet, melancholic outlook? she asks. And why has our culture been so blind to its value?Bittersweetness recognizes that light and dark, birth and death - bitter and sweet - are forever paired.
