Receive our FREE newsletters at 18forty.org/join. Our Intergenerational Divergence series is sponsored by our friends Sarala and Danny Turkel. This episode is sponsored by an anonymous friend who supports our mission. In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to bestselling author Susan Cain about her bittersweetrelationship 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.”
