En savoir plus sur le livre
In her latest work, Susan Cain explores the themes of sorrow and longing, revealing the profound lessons these emotions offer regarding creativity, compassion, leadership, spirituality, mortality, and love. She introduces the concept of bittersweetness, which encompasses a blend of longing, poignancy, and sorrow, alongside a heightened awareness of time's passage and a unique joy found in beauty. This duality of light and dark—birth and death, bitter and sweet—underscores the human experience. Art forms like minor-key songs, elegiac poetry, and poignant commercials can evoke this sublime state, fostering a deeper connection among people. Bittersweetness is more than a fleeting emotion; it represents a way of being and a rich heritage. Cain draws on artistic and spiritual traditions, supported by recent scientific and management research, to illustrate its significance. She argues that embracing a bittersweet mindset can help us transcend personal and collective pain. Ignoring our sorrows can lead to harmful behaviors, but recognizing our shared experiences of loss enables us to connect more deeply. In a time marked by discord and anxiety, Cain's insights encourage us to transform pain into creativity and connection, ultimately bringing us closer together.
