The same thing that can, when it's not working right, predispose us to anxiety and depression is the very thing that can bring us to our highest and deepest selves.
Ever thought about how sorrow and longing could make you feel more complete? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer chats with Susan Cain, the brilliant mind behind the bestseller *Quiet*. Known for her TED Talk that's racked up over 30 million views, Susan dives into her latest book, *Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole*. She shares how these emotions, often seen as negative, can actually guide us toward our truest selves.
Drawing from religious traditions, philosophy, and art, Susan explains how the bittersweet state has been a source of wisdom for centuries. They also touch on the paradox of craving in Buddhism and how grief can transform us into more resilient beings. Curious about how pain can lead to beauty? Susan’s got insights on that too. She even developed a 'bittersweet quiz' with David Yadin at Johns Hopkins to help you understand your relationship with these complex feelings.
Tune in to hear more about her work and why embracing the bittersweet can be a path to wholeness.
