In this episode of the
18Forty Podcast, we talk to bestselling author Susan Cain about her bittersweet
relationship with her mother, an Orthodox Jew and daughter of a prominent rabbi.
Susan’s book
Bittersweet explores their journey together and grapples with what it means when our lives and relationships don’t exactly meet our expectations. In this episode we discuss:
- How do our relationships with our parents change in adulthood?
- Why are sad songs often some of our favorites?
- How can we make meaning of the yearning we experience?
Tune in to hear a conversation about “longing for the source” and “uniting with the beloved of the soul.”
Interview begins at 11:01.
