Bittersweet State of Mind, feat. Susan Cain (Enneagram 4)


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered why you like sad music, find comfort or inspiration in a rainy day, or react intensely to music, art, nature, and beauty? If so, you may identify with the bittersweet state of mind.

Bestselling author Susan Cain joins Anthony and I in a deep exploration of the important topic of bittersweet. She explains that "as humans, we enter this world with a sense of longing and separation from a more perfect and beautiful world. We come into the world with this knowledge and with these kinds of holy tears, you could call them, and this is one of the best and most beautiful things about us, the fact that we feel this [..], the fact of wanting to glimpse it and occasionally glimpsing it is that that's actually the secret fuel behind our creativity and our capacity for love."

Tune in for this incredible conversation that puts words to the pining and longing of Enneagram Fours.

Susan Cain is the author of the bestsellers Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole and Quiet: The Power of Introverts in A World That Can't Stop Talking, which spent eight years on the New York Times best seller list and has been translated into 40 languages. Susan's TED talks have been viewed over 40 million times. LinkedIn named her the Top 6th Influencer in the World, just behind Richard Branson and Melinda French Gates. Susan partners with Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant and Dan Pink to curate the Next Big Idea Book Club. They donate all their proceeds to children's literacy programs.
