Susan cane and dan pink are the next big idea club curators. They both have new books out in recent weeks, bitter sweet and quiet. Susan says she comes up with ideas for her books by thinking of things that stand out in her memory. Dan: I've discarded so many book ideas over the years; i'm curious about how writers figure out what makes the cut.
What do we lose when we avoid sorrow and chase empty delights, when we mask our pain and feign cheerfulness, when we profess to have no regrets and insist on turning every frown upside down? Those questions are at the heart of two new books by our curators Susan Cain (“Bittersweet”) and Daniel Pink (“The Power of Regret”). Today on the show, they sit down with Rufus to swap notes on the writing process, share what they’ve learned from each other, and imagine what the world might look like if we all learned how to embrace negative emotions.
