Si alguna vez te has preguntado por qué te gusta la música triste... Si encuentras consuelo o inspiración en un día lluvioso... Si reaccionas intensamente a la música, el arte, la naturaleza y la belleza... Entonces, probablemente, te identifiques con el sentimiento agridulce. Esta obra maestra es una mezcla de investigación, narración de historias y memorias que ahonda en los sentimientos de tristeza y añoranza, llegando a la conclusión de que aceptar la condición agridulce de la vida es el verdadero camino hacia la creatividad, la conexión y la trascendencia. Susan Cain demuestra que el sentimiento agridulce es la fuerza silenciosa que nos ayuda a trascender nuestro dolor personal y colectivo. Si no reconocemos nuestro propio dolor, dice, podemos terminar infligiéndolo a los demás a través del abuso, la dominación o la negligencia. Pero si nos damos cuenta de que todos los seres humanos conocen, o conocerán, la pérdida y el sufrimiento, podemos volvernos unos hacia otros. En una época de discordia y ansiedad personal, Agridulce nos une de manera profunda e inesperada.
