Cellist Of Sarajevo Summary

Summary of Susan Cain's Bittersweet

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The author learned that we have up to twenty-seven different emotions, but we can’t tell a good story about so many different characters. We need to narrow it down and pick one emotion as the main protagonist. #2 The story of how Sadness was created is a perfect example of how the Pixar team works together to create a better film. They were originally going to place a dark and gloomy character at the center of the movie, but Dacher Keltner, a influential University of California, Berkeley, psychology professor, explained that Sadness triggers compassion. #3 Dacher Keltner, who is known for his work with positive psychology, is a born high-reactive person. He is warm and caring, and he radiates happiness. But he also has a deep sadness at the core of who he is. #4 Keltner’s parents were both very passionate, and this caused a lot of drama in their family. Keltner, on the other hand, had a more scientific temperament and decided to study human emotions when he grew up.
