Tuesday, April 19 Live Zoom Video Conference
We’re thrilled to connect you with Susan Cain, world-renowned 7-year New York Times best-selling author of Quiet, for a life-changing conversation on the power of a bittersweet outlook on life, and why we’ve been so blind to its value. Described by Adam Grant as a “sparkling ode to the beauty of the human condition”, Cain’s latest guidance based on her new book Bittersweet promises to be transformative for ourselves and our loved ones.
With Quiet, Susan Cain urged our society to cultivate space for the undervalued, indispensable introverts among us, thereby revealing an untapped power hidden in plain sight. In her new masterpiece, Bittersweet, she explores why we experience sorrow and longing, and how embracing the bittersweetness at the heart of life is the true path to creativity, connection, and transcendence.
In a dynamic conversation moderated by IVY CEO and YPO Metro NY Chapter Chair Emeritus Beri Meric, we will learn 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 heartache, we can end up inflicting it 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 one another.
At a time of profound discord and personal anxiety, we are honored to host a conversation on how to bring us together in deep and unexpected ways. We hope you will join us!
