Vi lever i en tid som dyrker selvrealisering og selvhevdelse. Det er den utadvendte, den som hever røsten, som blir tilgodesett oppmerksomhet. Det er dette som er idealet. Vi må vise oss frem, fortelle om bragder og ambisjoner, fremheve vårt potensiale, skaffe oss oppmerksomhet ved å bidra i alle slags diskusjoner eller konkurranser. Og, selvsagt, idealet er også å være helt og fullt til stede med sin selvfremstilling på twitter og facebook. Men ikke for alle, ikke for den innadvendte. Den innadvendte er kjennetegnet ved at hun foretrekker å jobbe alene fremfor i gruppe, hun lytter fremfor å snakke selv, vil heller ta et glass vin i stille omgivelser med noen få enn å gå på mottagelser og middager med mange. Den innadvendte søker ro og stillhet, og trenger mindre stimulanse enn andre. Men hun er nyskapende og kreativ, og veldig ofte en god leder!

In her new masterpiece, the author of the bestselling phenomenon Quiet reveals the power of a bittersweet outlook on life, and why we've been so blind to its value. "Bittersweet grabs you by the heart and doesn't let go."-BRENÉ BROWN, author of Atlas of the Heart"Susan Cain has described and validated my existence once again!"-GLENNON DOYLE, author of Untamed"A sparkling ode to the beauty of the human condition."-ADAM GRANT, author of Think Again ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022-Oprah Daily, BookPageBittersweetness 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. 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.
