Cain believes embracing sorrow is the key to creativity, fulfillment, authenticity and genuine relationships. Shielding children from pain can diminish their emotional capacity. Adults must help young people experience the full range of feelings and prepare them to manage their emotions. Cain offers a roadmap to valuing sadness so people can embrace happiness and joy and live life to the fullest.
Cain is the best-selling author of “Quiet: The Power of Introverts,” and “Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Makes Us Whole,” which was an Oprah’s Book Club pick for 2023.
Cain will be in conversation with Daniel H. Pink, the award-winning author of five New York Times best sellers, including “Drive,” “A Whole New Mind” and “To Sell is Human.”
Continuing professional development units are available for these webinars.
