Truth Quest Book Group: Sunday, April 7, 8:30 to 9:30 am
Please join us for our book group discussion of Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole by Susan Cain. We I'll be meeting next via Zoom on Sunday, April 7 from 8:30 to 9:30 am.
Susan 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 sorrows and longings, she says, we can end up inflicting them 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 each other. And we can learn to transform our own pain into creativity, transcendence, and connection.
At a time of profound discord and personal anxiety, Bittersweet brings us together in deep and unexpected ways.
