AWARD • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Wall Street Journal  Mashable 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  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.
