Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole
Sadness is a superpower. In her new masterpiece, the author of the bestselling phenomenon
Quiet
reveals the power of a bittersweet outlook on life, and why we’ve been so blind to its value.
“
Bittersweet
grabs you by the heart and doesn’t let go.”—BRENÉ BROWN, author of
Atlas of the Heart
“Susan Cain has described and validated my existence once again!”—GLENNON DOYLE, author of
Untamed
“A sparkling ode to the beauty of the human condition.”—ADAM GRANT, author of
Think Again
ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022—
Oprah Daily, BookPage
Bittersweetness is a tendency to 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’ve ever wondered why you like sad music . . .
If you find comfort or inspiration in a rainy day . . .
If you react intensely to music, art, nature, and beauty . . .
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 why we experience sorrow and longing, and how embracing the bittersweetness at the heart of life is the true path to creativity, connection, and transcendence.
Cain shows how a bittersweet state of mind is the quiet force that helps us transcend our personal and collective pain. If we don’t acknowledge our own heartache, she says, we can end up inflicting it on others via abuse, domination, or neglect. But if we realize that all humans know—or will know—loss and suffering, we can turn toward one another.
At a time of profound discord and personal anxiety,
Bittersweet
brings us together in deep and unexpected ways.
