SUSAN CAIN'S NEW BOOK, BITTERSWEET, IS AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW
A SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, THIS BOOK WILL CHANGE HOW YOU SEE INTROVERTS - AND YOURSELF - FOREVER.
Our lives are driven by a fact that most of us can't name and don't understand. It defines who our friends and lovers are, which careers we choose, and whether we blush when we're embarrassed.
That fact is whether we're an introvert or an extrovert.
The most fundamental dimension of personality, at least a third of us are introverts, and yet shyness, sensitivity and seriousness are often seen as a negative. Some of the world's most talented people are introverts - without them we wouldn't have the Apple computer, the theory of relativity and Van Gogh's sunflowers. In Quiet, Susan Cain shows how society misunderstands and undervalues introverts while giving them the tools to better understand themselves and take full advantage of their strengths.
Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with real stories, whether an introvert or extrovert, this book will change how you see human beings for good.

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER QUIET: THE POWER OF INTROVERTS IN A WORLD THAT CAN'T STOP TALKING
In her inspiring new masterpiece, the author of the bestselling phenomenon Quiet describes her powerful quest to understand how love, loss and sorrow make us whole - revealing the power of a bittersweet outlook on life.
Bittersweetness is a tendency towards 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 seek out beauty in your everyday life . . .
If you find comfort or inspiration in a rainy day . . .
If you react intensely to music, art and nature . . .
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 how embracing the bittersweetness at the heart of life is the true path to creativity and connection.
Cain shows movingly how a bittersweet state of mind - though we've been blind to its value - is the quiet force that helps us transcend our personal and collective pain. It can change the way we live, the way we work and the way we love. If we realize that all humans know - or will know - loss and suffering, we can turn towards one another.
At a time of profound discord and personal anxiety, Bittersweet brings us together in deep and unexpected ways.
Weshalb es sich lohnt, auch Kummer und Melancholie zuzulassen
Bestseller-Autorin Susan Cain zeigt in ihrem neuen psychologischen Ratgeber Bittersüß, weshalb vermeintlich negative Gefühle wie Trauer, Melancholie, Schmerz und Leid zu einem wirklich erfüllten Leben gehören und wie sie uns helfen, unser volles Potenzial zu entfalten.
In ihrem Bestseller Still erforschte Susan Cain die verborgene Kraft der Introvertiertheit. In Bittersüß verwendet sie dieselbe Mischung aus Recherche, Geschichtenerzählen und Memoir, um zu zeigen, wie Bittersüße der Schlüssel zu einem erfüllten Leben ist. Anhand vieler anschaulicher Beispiele verdeutlicht sie, wie das Verständnis der Bittersüße es uns ermöglicht, die Übergänge des Lebens zu überstehen.
Wir leben in einer Gesellschaft, die uns suggeriert, permanent fröhlich und glücklich sein zu müssen und die keinen Kummer erlaubt. Doch ohne Licht kein Schatten, ohne Tag keine Nacht – Melancholie, Traurigkeit, Sehnsucht und schwierige Emotionen gehören ganz natürlich zu unserem Leben. Nur indem wir die ganze Fülle des Lebens annehmen, entdecken wir Sinn und Verbindung, Liebe und Freude. Dichter und Komponisten wussten dies zu allen Zeiten und haben unvergängliche Meisterwerke von bittersüßer Schönheit erschaffen.
In einer Zeit großer Einsamkeit und persönlicher Angst bringt uns Bittersüß auf tiefe und unerwartete Weise zusammen, indem wir unseren persönlichen und kollektiven Schmerz in Kreativität, Transzendenz und Verbindung verwandeln.
Si alguna vez te has preguntado por qué te gusta la música triste...Si encuentras consuelo o inspiración en un día lluvioso...Si reaccionas intensamente a la música, el arte, la naturaleza y la belleza...Entonces, probablemente, te identifiques con el sentimiento agridulce.
Esta obra maestra es una mezcla de investigación, narración de historias y memorias que ahonda en los sentimientos de tristeza y añoranza, llegando a la conclusión de que aceptar la condición agridulce de la vida es el verdadero camino hacia la creatividad, la conexión y la trascendencia.Susan Cain demuestra que el sentimiento agridulce es la fuerza silenciosa que nos ayuda a trascender nuestro dolor personal y colectivo. Si no reconocemos nuestro propio dolor, dice, podemos terminar infligiéndolo a los demás a través del abuso, la dominación o la negligencia. Pero si nos damos cuenta de que todos los seres humanos conocen, o conocerán, la pérdida y el sufrimiento, podemos volvernos unos hacia otros. En una época de discordia y ansiedad personal, Agridulce nos une de manera profunda e inesperada.
„Ein leerer Topf klappert am lautesten“. Aber wer der Welt etwas Bedeutendes schenken will, benötigt Zeit und Sorgfalt, um es in Stille reifen zu lassen. „Still“ ist ein Plädoyer für die Ruhe, die in unserer Welt des Marktgeschreis und der Klingeltöne zu verschwinden droht. Und für leise Menschen, die lernen sollten, zu ihrem „So-Sein“ zu stehen. Ohne sie hätten wir heute keine Relativitätstheorie, keinen „Harry Potter“, keine Klavierstücke Chopins, und auch die Suchmaschine „Google“ wäre nie entwickelt worden. „Still“ baut eine Brücke zwischen den Welten, kritisiert aber das gesellschaftliche Ungleichgewicht zugunsten der Partylöwen und Dampfplauderer. Es herrscht eine „extrovertierte Ethik“, die stille Wasser zwingt, sich anzupassen oder unterzugehen. Ihre Eigenschaften – Ernsthaftigkeit, Sensibilität und Scheu – gelten eher als Krankheitssymptome denn als Qualitäten. Zu unrecht, sagt Susan Cain, und stellt sich gegen den Trend, der „selbstbewusstes Auftreten“ verherrlicht. „Still“ ist das Kultbuch für Introvertierte, hilft aber auch Extrovertierten, ihre Mitmenschen besser zu verstehen.
