Stil
de kracht van introvert zijn in een wereld die niet ophoudt met kletsenMinstens een derde van de mensen die we kennen is introvert. Dat zijn diegenen die de voorkeur geven aan luisteren boven praten; die nieuwe dingen uitvinden en creëren maar liever niet hun eigen ideeën pitchen. Introverte mensen hebben het moeilijk in een concurrentiemaatschappij waarin extraversie als de norm beschouwd wordt. Stil behelst een vurig pleidooi vóór introversie, gebaseerd op grondig onderzoek en uit het leven gegrepen verhalen van echte mensen onder wie de auteur zelf. Susan Cain laat zien hoe introverten in onze maatschappij stelselmatig onderschat worden en toont haarscherp de voordelen aan van stil zijn in een wereld vol lawaai.

Quiet power. I superpoteri degli introversi
Quando Susan Cain era un'adolescente, molti le chiedevano perché fosse così silenziosa. Per anni ha fatto del suo meglio per apparire "socievole", che a scuola sembrava il complimento migliore che si potesse ricevere. Si sforzava di parlare di più in classe e andava a feste chiassose e piene di gente anche quando avrebbe preferito uscire con pochi amici. Con il tempo però ha realizzato che il suo approccio pacato verso la vita era sempre stato un grande potere: gli altri la apprezzavano per la profondità delle sue riflessioni, la capacità di ascolto e la calma. Dopo "Quiet. Il potere degli introversi in un mondo che non sa smettere di parlare", Susan Cain ha scritto una guida pensata appositamente per i bambini e gli adolescenti e per il loro mondo (la scuola, le attività sportive, la vita familiare, i rapporti con i coetanei), ricca di storie esemplari di introversi famosi, da Einstein a Beyoncé a Emma Watson, ma anche di strategie e consigli pratici per imparare a usare i "superpoteri" degli introversi e affrontare le sfide più difficili.

Il dono della malinconia. Indagine su un sentimento
C'è una forza prodigiosa che custodiamo in noi e ci consente di apprezzare l'arte, di meravigliarci dinanzi alla bellezza del mondo, di stabilire connessioni profonde con gli altri. È il sentimento che più di tutti ci rende umani: la malinconia. Per fronteggiare gli ineludibili momenti di trasformazione che segnano le nostre vite, un libro pieno di illuminazioni, spunti preziosi, piccole saggezze. La luce e la vita, la felicità e l'appagamento esistono perché nel mondo che conosciamo convivono e sono legate all'oscurità, alla morte, alla tristezza. Avere un animo malinconico, perciò, significa essere acutamente consapevoli dello scorrere del tempo, della propria vulnerabilità, provare un costante anelito verso un mondo diverso. Caratteristiche spesso considerate fragilità. Ma i malinconici possiedono anche una sensibilità aumentata, uno straordinario talento nel trasformare la tristezza, il dolore e la perdita in una forza salvifica, in grado di provare un senso di gratitudine e gioia di fronte al divino, l'arte e la bellezza, in qualunque forma essa si manifesti. Per secoli si è studiata la malinconia e le sue virtù misteriose. Ora, attingendo a neuroscienze, psicologia, spiritualità e religione, Susan Cain ce ne offre una visione completa e contemporanea.

Bittersüß
Weshalb es sich lohnt, auch Kummer und Melancholie zuzulassen Bestseller-Autorin Susan Cain zeigt in ihrem neuen psychologischen Ratgeber Bittersüß, weshalb vermeintlich negative Gefühle wie Trauer, Melancholie, Schmerz und Leid zu einem wirklich erfüllten Leben gehören und wie sie uns helfen, unser volles Potenzial zu entfalten. In ihrem Bestseller Still erforschte Susan Cain die verborgene Kraft der Introvertiertheit. In Bittersüß verwendet sie dieselbe Mischung aus Recherche, Geschichtenerzählen und Memoir, um zu zeigen, wie Bittersüße der Schlüssel zu einem erfüllten Leben ist. Anhand vieler anschaulicher Beispiele verdeutlicht sie, wie das Verständnis der Bittersüße es uns ermöglicht, die Übergänge des Lebens zu überstehen. Wir leben in einer Gesellschaft, die uns suggeriert, permanent fröhlich und glücklich sein zu müssen und die keinen Kummer erlaubt. Doch ohne Licht kein Schatten, ohne Tag keine Nacht - Melancholie, Traurigkeit, Sehnsucht und schwierige Emotionen gehören ganz natürlich zu unserem Leben. Nur indem wir die ganze Fülle des Lebens annehmen, entdecken wir Sinn und Verbindung, Liebe und Freude. Dichter und Komponisten wussten dies zu allen Zeiten und haben unvergängliche Meisterwerke von bittersüßer Schönheit erschaffen. In einer Zeit großer Einsamkeit und persönlicher Angst bringt uns Bittersüß auf tiefe und unerwartete Weise zusammen, indem wir unseren persönlichen und kollektiven Schmerz in Kreativität, Transzendenz und Verbindung verwandeln.

Agridulce
"With her mega-bestseller 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. Now, she employs the same mix of research, storytelling, and memoir to explore why we experience sorrow and longing, and the surprising lessons these states of mind teach us about creativity, compassion, leadership, spirituality, mortality and love. Bittersweetness is a tendency to states of longing, poignancy, and sorrow; an acute awareness of passing time; and a curiously piercing joy when beholding beauty. It recognizes that light and dark, birth and death-bitter and sweet-are forever paired. A song in a minor key, an elegiac poem, or even a touching television commercial all can bring us to this sublime, even holy, state of mind-and, ultimately, to greater kinship with our fellow humans. But bittersweetness is not, as we tend to think, just a momentary feeling or event. It's also a way of being, a storied heritage. Our artistic and spiritual traditions--amplified by recent scientific and management research--teach us its power. Cain shows 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 sorrows and longings, she says, we can end up inflicting them 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 each other. And we can learn to transform our own pain into creativity, transcendence, and connection. At a time of profound discord and personal anxiety, Bittersweet brings us together in deep and unexpected ways"--

Quiet. Il potere degli introversi in un mondo che non sa smettere di parlare
Il mondo è pieno di introversi: li vediamo, anche se non li sentiamo. A volte ci disturbano, con la loro reticenza. Altre volte ci affaticano, perché cedono sempre il passo a noi. Altre volte ancora li apprezziamo, perché sembrano innocui. Sono almeno un terzo delle persone che conosciamo: sono quelli che preferiscono ascoltare, invece che parlare; che preferiscono leggere invece che fare vita sociale; quelli che creano e inventano, ma che non ostentano la loro opinione. A molti di loro dobbiamo alcuni dei più grandi progressi dell'umanità: dalla teoria della gravità, all'invenzione del computer, da Harry Potter a Google. Ma come trovano spazio gli introversi in una società che sembra premiare solo le personalità estroverse, competitive ed egocentriche? Raccontando anni di esperienza come consulente e il suo passaggio da una timidezza riluttante a una timidezza orgogliosa, Susan Cain accende un riflettore sugli introversi che sono fra di noi, spiegandone la forza e il ruolo nella nostra società.

Quiet
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Experience the book that started the quiet revolution "A smart, lively book about the value of silence and solitude."-Daniel Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY People • O: The Oprah Magazine • Christian Science Monitor • Inc. • Library Journal • Kirkus Reviews At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts-Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak-that we owe many of the great contributions to society. In Quiet, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She also introduces us to successful introverts-from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.
