This is a very unique chapter!

\\xa0

It is a double chapter, in a way.

\\xa0

To begin with I was so lucky to interview Susan Cain at our very first live chapter of 3 Books at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. So many 3 Bookers came out and celebrated on a snowy night just before the pandemic began. (We had no idea!) At the time Susan was deep in the throes of writing her new book Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole but as we discuss a lot of her work in process we didn\\u2019t want to scoop the book so held onto this conversation until it was ready for the world.

\\xa0

Well, it\\u2019s ready for the world! Bittersweet just came out and debuted at #1 on The New York Times bestseller list! How did we celebrate? By having another conversation, of course! Susan and I partnered with the wonderful indie bookstore Magic City Books of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and just conducted a live book tour stop together.

\\xa0

So Chapter 102 of 3 Books is a double interview! Our first ever. It\\u2019s a before and after. Two live conversations with you hanging out between us pre- and (can we say post yet?) post-pandemic.

\\xa0

Listen to Susan and I discuss: bathing ourselves in beauty, the power of reading, exploring identity, honoring our children, the tension between family and art, the benefits of envy, the nature of sorrow and longing, and, of course, the brilliant Susan Cain\\u2019s 3 most formative books.
