Quiet Power & Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole By Susan Cain 2 Book Set

Quiet Power & Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole by Susan Cain is a two-book set that brings together her writing on introversion and the inner life. It follows on from the wider discussion prompted by Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking, reflecting on how people come to understand themselves and their place in the world.

In Quiet Power, Cain adapts the ideas of the Quiet Revolution for younger readers. It considers both the strengths and the difficulties that can accompany introversion during childhood, adolescence and the early twenties, when insecurity and self-doubt may feel particularly close. Drawing on examples from school, family life and friendship, it applies the discoveries introduced in Quiet to readers navigating these formative years.
