Episode notes

Do we inherit the griefs and traumas of our ancestors? This question is being studied by Dr. Rachel Yehuda at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Transgenerational healing takes many forms, all of them involving the creation of healthy connections with our ancestors. If you want to better understand your forebears, find ways to connect with yours.

The Next Big Idea presents an audio masterclass from bestselling author Susan Cain. Drawing on her latest book, "Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole," Susan shares practical insights that you can use to bolster your creativity, deepen your connections, and find joy.

Susan Cain is the author of two New York Times #1 bestsellers, "Bittersweet" and "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking." She's also one of our curators here at the Next Big Idea Club. To learn more about her work, visit susancain.net.
