Als Susan Cain ein Teenager war, wurde sie oft gefragt, warum sie so still ist. Daraufhin zwang sie sich jahrelang, im Unterricht das Wort zu ergreifen und auf Partys zu gehen, auch wenn sie ihre freie Zeit lieber mit einer guten Freundin verbracht hätte. Im Laufe der Jahre erkannte Susan, dass ihre Introvertiertheit keine Schwäche, sondern eine Stärke war. Sie nahm sich Zeit zum Nachdenken, war ausgeglichen und eine gute Zuhörerin. Ihr erstes Buch 'Still' wurde ein weltweiter Erfolg und ermutigte viele Introvertierte, zu sich selbst zu stehen. In ihrem zweiten Buch dreht sich alles um die Welt von Kindern und Jugendlichen. Sie "sind oft talentiert, einzigartig und liebevoll. Und trotzdem denken sie, dass etwas mit ihnen nicht stimmt. Das muss sich ändern", beschreibt Susan Cain ihr Anliegen, das hinter diesem wichtigen Buch steckt.Ausstattung: s/w Illustrationen

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.
