Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole Bittersweets is a feeling, a tendency toward 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. Susan Cain mixes research, storytelling, and memoir to explore why we experience sorrow and longing, and how embracing the bittersweet feelings at the heart of life is the true path to creativity, connection, and transcendence.
