Bittersweet : how sorrow and longing make us whole / Susan Cain. - New York : Crown, [2022]. - XXXIV, [2], 310, [3] strony : ilustracje ; 24 cm.
Książka w języku angielskim. Bittersweetness is a tendency to states of longing, poignancy, and sorrow; an acute awareness of passing time; and a curiously piercing joy when beholding beauty. It recognizes that light and dark, birth and death - bitter and sweet - are forever paired. 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 sorrows and longings, she says, we can end up inflicting them 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 each other. And we can learn to transform our own pain into creativity, transcendence, and connection.
