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 whether from a death or breakup addiction or illness. 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.
