Episode notes

"I can't be friends with someone that wants me to do something that's going to leave me deeply uncomfortable," she says. "So I quite often say to people now is thank you so much for the invitation, but this isn't the right thing for me." 'It's a real skill and I'm trying to grow that skill set'

Susan Cain’s groundbreaking book, Quiet, taught a generation of readers to perceive and value their introvert qualities. Her latest book, Bittersweet is a song to the complex space between happiness and sadness. In this episode, Katherine talks to Susan about how she came to move so comfortably in the understated parts of life, and why the minor key is so beautiful.

While we’ve been away, The Wintering Sessions have been undergoing a metamorphosis. Katherine talks us through the process of becoming How We Live Now, and offers us a peek at the season to come.
