b"Susan Cain \\u2014 Bittersweet, the Happiness of the Melancholy, How Sorrow Creates the Union Between Souls | Brought to you by Grammarly and Raycon.\\nSusan Cain is one of my favorite authors and completely changed the way I viewed myself and my own strengths. Susan is the author of the Quiet Journal, Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverts,\\xa0and\\xa0Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can\\u2019t Stop Talking, which spent eight years on\\xa0The New York Times\\xa0bestseller list, and has been translated into 40 languages. Her new masterpiece, Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole, is available now.\\nSusan\\u2019s first\\xa0record-smashing TED Talk\\xa0has been viewed more than 40 million times and was named by Bill Gates as one of his all-time favorite talks (and if you like that one, you should\\xa0check out her most recent TED Talk with violinist Min Kym). LinkedIn named her the top sixth influencer in the world, just behind Richard Branson and Melinda Gates. Susan partners with Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, and Dan Pink to curate the\\xa0Next Big Idea Club. They donate all of their proceeds to children\\u2019s literacy programs.\\nBittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make us Whole\\nIn her new book, Susan discusses why sadness and the happiness of melancholy are key to achieving self-transcendence and the union between souls. As with the majority of people, you\\u2019ve probably been taught your entire life to look at the positive side and be happy no matter what. While there is a place for optimism and looking at the bright side, by burying your melancholy and sadness, you may actually be doing yourself a terrible disservice.\\nPlease enjoy Susan Cain's episode and leave us a 5-Star rating if you love the episode.
